Wendell Burton – Altar’d Ego – 2006

In 2006 Wendell released an updated version of his single For America. He also released a new track that’s pretty good too. I have always been of the opinion that For America was one of the best CCM songs of all time and quite frankly it just begged for a secular release. Unfortunately the song is a little patriotic for most mainstream artists that do the style of music this would have worked in. Anyway usually we don’t upload stuff after about 1995 but this is a special case.

Tracklist
1 – For America – 5:03
2 – Back To The Cave – 3:17

Overdrive – Remembering The Basher – 2006

Overdrive were an late 80’s, early 90’s Christian Metal band from Blacksburg/Radford VA. In 2006 they re-released their work in remembrance of the passing of their drummer Bobby “The Basher” Collins. Overdrive were never officially signed to a label but did get a track on a Benson Records sampler in 1991. Unfortunately it was removed from the sampler due to some foolishness over the use of the word “saints”. Unfortunately foolish things like this often kept quality bands like Overdrive from getting their music to us. The band did however get a chance to share their music by playing the 1990 and 1991 Cornerstone festival in Illinois. Their music is for sale at the link below.
