What's a band to do when they've got some great live recordings in the can and an album's worth of new material recorded to boot? In the case of Jars of Clay, the answer bespeaks an almost Solomonic wisdom--put them both out together! The first disc of FURTHERMORE finds the US's premier Christian rock band progressing still further on their artistic journey, with sophisticated sonic textures and a seamless blend of spiritual content and rock-pop satisfaction. The live disc shows that Jars of Clay's in-concert prowess is obviously a big part of the reason they've attracted so many fans over the course of their career. From the sprightly acoustic jangle of "Like A Child" to the anthemic, U2-like stadium rock of "Dissapear," and the folky, accordion-filled strains of "This Road," Jars of Clay fill their live performances with a fervor that's as accessible as it is infectious. minimize
