T-Bone Burnett And Christian Art

After fourteen years without releasing any of his own music T-Bone Burnett is back. He even now has his own website and a MySpace page. (Fans will previously have known how difficult it was to track down anything close to first hand online.) Last month he released both a wonderful 2-CD compilation entitled Twenty Twenty and a CD of new recordings, The True False Identity.

Burnett is well known in Christian art circles for his famous quote,

“You can sing about the Light, or you can sing about what you see because of the Light. I prefer the latter.” (Credit: JesusJournal.com)

In an interview to promote the new releases he comes up with another thought-provoking insight for Christians in the creative arts:

“Where I want to go with my work and with my life is that place
that’s between heaven and earth. It’s neither; it’s ether,” Burnett
says. “That’s the place I feel comfortable — that’s where I feel alive.”
