DC Talk reunites... for 1 Song

dc Talk Reunites For Kevin Max’s Latest Solo Project “The Blood”
Publish Date: Jan 17, 2008

This past December 26th, Kevin Max released The Blood, a tribute to the music that influenced him and features a long-awaited reunion of dc Talk.





Their reunion for “The Cross” marks the first recorded reunion of the group since the 2002 single, “Let’s Roll”. “Hearing the three of us on the same track again was a treat,” says Max. ”’The Cross’ was the perfect anthem for that reunion.”

The Blood is a very personal project that allowed Max to step back from his usual rock stylings in favour of a musical exploration of Gospel. This deliberate departure features high profile collaborations with an extraordinary cast, including Vince Gill, Amy Grant, American Idol finalist Chris Sligh, Joanne Cash, Ashley Cleveland, Erica Campbell from Mary Mary and others.

“This album was something I have been wanting to accomplish as a singer for many years,” says Max. “It is literally going back to my roots in search of the music that resonated with me as a young man, when I was searching for something bigger than myself.”

Produced by fellow recording artist/songwriter/musician Will Owsley (Amy Grant, Shania Twain, Michael McDonald), The Blood features some of Nashville’s finest players including Phil Madeira (B3, Organ, National Guitar), John Painter (Horns, HipHop Bass) and Vince Gill on guitar.
