It also depends on if that artist has crossed over into the secular music world at all. POD is a Christian band that has a big pull in the secular music industry, so they get a bit more press when it comes to that. But, a band like Anberlin, that has only barely touched the secular realm, doesn't get near the press.

Al Green brings the same great artistry and soulfulness to gospel music as he does to his secular material. I recommend trying a compilation, either "One In A Million" (Word 1991)(a little hard to find, and short, but excellent), or "Greatest Gospel Hits" (Hi/The Right Stuff/Capitol 2001)(17 songs, some of which sound 1980s-dated). There is also a well-made documentary (dating from the early 1980s I think) available on DVD "The Gospel According to Al Green" (1999) that I think you will find quite interesting and fun.

I also squeezed in Sun Studios, Graceland, Stax and Willie Mitchell's studio. Spending time in the church was both surreal and spiritually and musically mindblowing!

I meant to go on the 23rd as we rolled out of Memphis. Unfortunately, a long night of booze, blues and BBQ prevented us from getting there. Hot damn!
