Jars of Clay

The Long Fall Back to Good Music

I admit I was a huge Jars fan about 15 years ago when they first dropped the still awesome album, "Jars of Clay". Flood, Liquid, Love Song for a Savior, all great tunes still ring soundly in between my ears. Loved that album. Everything since, in my opinion has been mediocre fluff at best. Until now.

The Long Fall Back to Earth for me is their greatest album since their first and people seem to be taking notice.

Propelled by a new multi-format radio hit, a national tour, ubiquitous coverage on The Gospel Music Channel, and, most importantly, an ardent fan base, three-time GRAMMY Award-winning and multi-Platinum band Jars of Clay once again finds itself at the very top of Nielsen SoundScan's Christian Albums chart.

Jars of Clay released The Long Fall Back to Earth, its 10th album and at the invitation of host Big Kenny (Big & Rich), performed the following night at a fundraiser for the African Children’s Choir with Faith Hill, Third Day, Keith Urban and others. Respected for its humanitarian efforts as much as its innovative, intellectual brand of rock, Jars of Clay was honored the night after the benefit during the 40th Annual Dove Awards for the band’s relentless commitment. Jars of Clay, who presented on the show, was bestowed with a Gospel Music Channel Gospel Angels Award during a special segment of the live broadcast. The band was recognized for its work in Africa through its Blood:Water Mission organization which has built more than 650 clean water wells positively impacting more than 500,000 people in 11 African countries.

Keep listening to the Big Big House Morning Show, we'll have more chances to win the album from Jars of Clay.
