And so it begins the way it begins every year around this time, the cycle come full circle. Yes, friends of Christianity, your Holy Week 2024 starts today, Palm Sunday, and if you have been with this blog for even one year now, you know what this means: yup, it’s our annual occasion to revisit ‘The Greatest Album Ever Made’.
If you are familiar at all with the Holy Week narrative, you will hear it play out unmistakably on this album: from the manic opening track (‘Silver’) suggesting Palm Sunday, to the desperate resignation of the record’s final song (‘Ocean Rain’, the title cut). And if you are not versed in this weeklong Passion of The Christ, this album will deliver a compelling & artful musical interpretation. Enjoy!
