At The Foot Of The Cross #1 (CD)

Before they did the popular City on a Hill series, Derri Daugherty and Steve Hindalong (of The Choir) made a few similar, but less popular, worship concept records. At the Foot of the Cross Volume 1: Clouds, Rain, Fire was the first of these, and it contained Knott on vocals for one track. In 2021, Daugherty and Hindalong completed a successful KickStarter to re-release this album on CD. In 1992, the release of At the Foot of the Cross, Vol. 1 provided a breakthrough for members of The Choir. The group had gained respect as a standout member of the Southern California alternative rock scene but had yet to make the big move to Nashville in order to grow its presence in the heart of the Christian music industry. In partnership with Daniel Amos multi-instrumentalist Greg Flesch, Steve Hindalong and Derri Daugherty conceived a project that would engage the burgeoning worship music trend with authenticity and heart. The project also tapped the talents of musical friends including (among others) virtuoso guitarist Phil Keaggy, baritone Bob Bennett, Leslie DuPre-Grimaud, Bill Batstone, the late Mark Heard, Michael Roe of the 77s, Pam Miner, alt-rock maverick Michael Knott, and roots music luminaries Victoria Williams and Buddy & Julie Miller.
