Giving the
Hillsong collective a run for its money, the worship team known as
Passion rocks hard and brings the grandeur on
White Flag, an album recorded live at Passion 2012, the Christian Conference held at the Georgia World Congress Center. Names like
Chris Tomlin,
David Crowder, and
Christy Nockels all contribute songs and performances, and with 42,000 students in the audience, the response is massive, making this sound just as big as any
U2 or Wembley gig you'd care to mention. Check out
Tomlin's classic rock-inspired "The Only One" or
Kristian Stanfill's alt-rock opener "Not Ashamed" for sheer power, or check
Tomlin's collaboration with
Matt Redman, "Lay Me Down," for a more traditional CCM highlight. ~ David Jeffries
