Warren Barfield was also at the concert I attended last night at Anderson University. Although he opened for Shane and Shane, he played for about an hour, and the audience loved him. Barfield has had over 2 top ten songs in the CCM charts and Radio and Records said that he was the #1 New Christian Artist of the Year. His newest album "Reach," was influenced by the last two years of his life. It was a very trying time for him, the most tragic being when his sister and her best friend, who was very close to their family were involved in a car accident. The best friend was killed instantly, and his sister Rena, was told that she would have to have her leg amputated. The songs on this CD, really show how he struggled over the past two years. Warren Barfield is definitely a great Christian artist who is increasingly becoming more and more popular.
