The early 1970s saw the emergence of "Jesus Music," so named in large part due to its connection with the "Jesus Movement" that came to prominence on the West Coast during those heady and reactionary times.
Jubillation! was a 1975 Myrrh Records sampler with some of the best Jesus Music of that time. It included such artists as Barry McGuire, Love Song, Ken Medema, Evie, Honeytree, Larry Norman, and The Second Chapter of Acts.
One of the stand-out tracks on that album was "Backslidin' Blues" by Petra. Petra was more rock and less "mainline Church" compared to the others, and as it turned out, the group had more staying power. They continued to record until 2006.
