DOVE
HITS 2003 collects tracks that were nominated for 2003 Dove Awards,
which are Contemporary Christian music's equivalent of the secular
record industry's annual Grammy Awards. Consequently, the disc is an
excellent sampling of the most popular and acclaimed recordings from
the year in question, with the addition of several bonus tracks and a
"We Are The World"-style all-star recording of Michael W. Smith's
classic song "Friends." The latter track, which apparently has become
something of a standard at high school graduation ceremonies, was
chosen in honor of legend Smith's 20th year in the Christian music
recording industry.
The rest of the album tends toward a
distinctly modern sound, with many of the tracks sounding virtually
indistinguishable from secular Top 40 radio. Particular standouts are
the always-rockin' Third Day, which has been called "the Christian
Lynyrd Skynyrd" (but, with its sharp pop sensibility is actually closer
to .38 Special) and former DC Talk front man tobyMac (a.k.a. Toby
McKeehan) who comes off like the bizarro world Eminem, spewing positive
messages rather than smug sensationalism.
