Continuing the theme from the last two posts, this time focusing on more recent and unexpected places to find religious themes. While I don't seek out this particular style of music, I do have a lot of it. In my opinion, the theme changed from suffering and salvation in the older gospel music, to more of a personal salvation or reprieve from drug addition that fuels these religious songs.
