The Jesus Music

Great production value.

This was so aesthetically pleasing that little else would matter.. but being a christian project it makes it tenfold more pleasing.

Goes behind the scenes of the people's lives what they had to face from the world and how the church struggled with this music. The only reason I give it a 9 is so many stories weren't told like Phil keaggy, Larry Normans story was short, but overall a wonderful documentary.

Very eye opening. While it, obviously, shows the highs. It shows the artists frailty. If you have any interest in music do yourself a favor and watch. There is a moment where they talk about Tobymacs oldest son passing of an overdose, it is touching. I remember Toby handling that loss as good as anyone I have ever seen. He truly shows his emotions. I live how it credits Amy Grant with starting this push to the music becoming mainstream stream. Not with that intent in mind. Again. This is eye opening. It says a lot about these artists to just be honest. As honest as anyone would be. I have always liked Christian pop and gospel. This sheds a new light for me. Also. A great part about Kirk Franklin. What a pioneer.

This movie captured the soundtrack of my childhood into my 20's and beyond. It was very well done and really brought back a lot of memories. I am happy they tackled some of the more difficult topics and I hope people learn and stop repeating the past.

The executive producers of this documentary are Amy Grant and Michael W Smith. Much of this documentary is about...Amy Grant and Michael W Smith. There's a lot of good here, but as other reviewers have noted there are a lot of important artists that were left out. In this day and age material like this would have better been served to be a six-part documentary. One episode for each decade? Or each episode centering on thematic issues like the content of the lyrics, the quality of music, how CCM has changed music styles in the local church, etc? Still, it was worth a trip down memory lane.
