Newsong formed in 1981 when three Liberty University students, Eddie Carswell, Billy Goodwin, and Michael O'Brien, started playing music together. Their debut album, 'Breaking the Ice,' came out in 1985. They followed it with records like 'The Narrow Road' in 1988 and 'The Healing' in 1991.
Some of their songs, such as 'First Day In Heaven' and 'Blessed Be Your Name,' became familiar in Christian circles. Their music drew both listeners and occasional criticism from parts of the Christian music community, which questioned their approach at times.
They kept recording through the 1990s, putting out albums like 'The Way We Long' in 1996. Tracks like 'Defining Moment' and 'Beauty Of Our God' reflect the straightforward, melodic style they became known for.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
