Those who have helped. I am starting a list of those who have helped in various ways, contributing cover art, albums, links, cleaning up artwork. If I have or you think I have missed you please bring it to my attention. I will not be offended as I have probably forgotten so many with over 800 albums presented and just starting this list. I will use only first names and maybe something else to help set you apart from someone else who has the same first name. Such as Ozark Ken.

Welcome to The Ancient Star Song blog spot. Here you will find a variety of genres (acid, blues, British beat, country, folk, gospel, honky tonk, jazz, progressive, psychedelic, rock ), from a variety of places around the world, recorded between the mid 60's and the early 80's, all with one commonality - the person and work of Jesus Christ. A call to follow Jesus was a central evangelical theme running through these albums. I hope you enjoy the music. If you are new to this site you can see more albums scrolling through the Labels section on the right side of the page. Listen along and maybe you will hear some of the best music you never heard before. Most of this music received very little or no air play on Christian stations. Most toured but to small churches in the local where they resided. This was the beginnings of Contemporary Christian Music as it is known today. A lot of the music was so radical that there was an uproar in the traditional churches of the day, some of which still carries on today. God worked in unbelievable ways and touched lives and brought people to salvation during this time. Yes it was probably one of the most disruptive times in American history with the civil rights and anti-war movements joined by the feminist movement. It is presented here for the glorification of Jesus and so my generation and the present generation might enjoy and find the peace that Jesus offers.
