Album Of The Day: At The Foot Of The Cross, Vol. 1: Clouds, Rain, Fire

Clouds, Rain, Fire album - On a white background, a gold border is around the inside of the edges. At the top it has the text 'At The Foot' in large letters, with 'of the' below it in smaller and 'Cross' next to those words in even bigger gold script. In much smaller, to the right of a photo, it says 'volume one', and below that on the right is 'clouds', then below 'rain', and below 'fire'. On the left half below the title is a photo of a bust of an angel sitting in a sunlit corner of a room on its side with a bunch of musical equipment like a drum, a tambourine, and a neck of a guitar can be seen as well.

As we near the celebration of Easter, it's a time to reflect on the life and death of Jesus Christ, and there's a good amount of music to do that with. This album was put together by three California-based musicians: Derald Daugherty, Greg Flesch, and Steve Hindalong, as a concept album of "songs to inspire worship". It's a fun mix of styles: rock from Derald and Mike Roe, country with Buddy and Julie Miller, and a good amount of atmospheric rock mixed with even a bit of traditional church prayers in Latin. This album is the first appearance of a song that would be covered by many artists, "Beautiful Scandalous Night". I especially like Mark Heard and Kate Miner's version of "My Redeemer Lives". Like many classic compilations and special event albums, this is not available on streaming services, but it is available for purchase from The Choir's Bandcamp page starting at only $4 currently.

Release Year: 1992

Clouds, Rain, Fire album - On a white background, a gold border is around the inside of the edges. At the top it has the text 'At The Foot' in large letters, with 'of the' below it in smaller and 'Cross' next to those words in even bigger gold script, all with a black drop shadow. In much smaller, to the right of a photo, it says 'volume one', and below that on the right is 'clouds', then below 'rain', and below 'fire'. On the left half behind the title and down is a photo of a bust of an angel sitting in on its side on a red background with a bunch of musical equipment like a drum and a violin can be seen as well. At the very bottom, in small black text, it says 'Songs To Inspire Worship'.
