Explo ‘72, as it would come to be known, is said to have marked the height of what was then called ‘Jesus Music’ Movement, which 1st began mostly in Southern California! Jesus Sound Explosion was a six-day event in June of 1972 organized by Campus Crusade for Christ, featuring a myriad of genres of Christian Music, held in Dallas TX. According to Wikipedia, “Billy Graham spoke on six different occasions during the event including the final event, which was a public, eight-hour-long, Christian music festival on Saturday, June 17, 1972. Dubbed ‘The Christian Woodstock’, the event drew an estimated attendance between 100,000 and 200,000.”

It’s not too often I get to post an album with Johnny Cash on it but this is the one. This album could not be purchased but instead was sent to attendees of the 1972 EXPLO music festival. The EXPLO festival was put on by Campus Crusade for Christ and there were actually 7 days to the festival in Dallas TX. If you were there you could order the album, and it would be mailed to you later. The festival was able to get all the performer’s record companies to allow this album to be distributed. I suspect one of the conditions was that it would not be commercially sold. This album has the broadest style of performers I’ve ever heard. Everything from Larry Norman (Rock) to Connie Smith (Country) to Willa Mae Dorsey (Southern Gospel). It’s an enjoyable album but the abrupt genre changes can be a bit startling. This album is a piece of CCM history. Were you there? (Ray Mansfield, Real 80s CCM)
