He inspired a generation of musicians and artists to aim for a higher level of artistry in their work. He may have rubbed shoulders with people who wrote cheesy, useless songs, but he didn’t cut corners when he wrote. He died over ten years ago, before I knew anything about him other than that he wrote Awesome God and Step by Step.

My favorite album of his is titled A Liturgy, A Legacy, and a Ragamuffin Band. It is the most album-like album I’ve ever listened to. Each piece fits. I never feel like a song is out of place. I never want to press skip. (My wife disagrees with me, there’s a track she doesn’t like and skips every time… but variety is the spice of life? Or she’s wrong. Right… Spice of life.)

So, I’d encourage you to go buy the album if  you don’t have it already. While you contemplate that purchase, here’s The Color Green from Liturgy, Legacy.
