!Hero: The Rock Opera

It’s possibly the best “movie” and album I’ve seen (listened to) … ever.

If you haven’t seen the show (which I was sad to find out that they actually did one in Nashville and I missed it ) you definitely should check out the DVD or CD. Personally I like the music on the DVD version better, probably because it doesn’t sound like it’s been so … “studioized” if you know what I mean. The premise of the show is about a modern day version of the Jesus story. Michael Tait (from dcTalk) plays the role of Jesus (and does it wonderfully). Other well-known bands / people include the lead singer from Audio Adrenaline, Rebecca St. James, T. Bone (from Grits?), and others that I’d recognize if I heard their names
