"David Crowder*Band is beginning to fall into a routine. The last two major albums ("Illuminate" and "A Collision or (3+4=7)") have been released, followed by a "mix" CD and a book. (Yes, David Crowder releases "Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven But Nobody Wants To Die: Or (The Eschatology of Bluegrass)" on September 9th this year.)
So, "B Collison or (B is for Banjo), or (B Side), or (Bill), or Perhaps More Accurately (...The Eschatology of Bluegrass)" is the "mix" CD for "A Collision or (3+4=7)." This CD gives a variety of versions of the hits in their major album. This CD is more of an acoustic/live CD unlike "Sunsets & Sushi" having a more electronic feel.
Though this CD lacks for new material (besides the extended versions of "Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven" and "I Can Hear The Angels Singing (...andeverandeverand...)", fans will not be too depressed with it. The tracks on the CD, though they are not electronic, have a similar "feel" when you listen to it, reminding you that you are listening to the genious of the David Crowder*Band.
This is a must have if you enjoyed "Sunsets & Sushi" and "A Collision or (3+4=7)"!"
David Crowder Band+Frank Peretti(Banjo, I mean)=One Great CD

"No, Frank Peretti does not proform on the cd, I said that because he does play the Banjo. Which is what Collision B means Collision Banjo. This cd is one of a kind. The DC*B is always just trying to get to the root of worship and doesn't care how they do it, just so they are glorify God. With, this cd they decided to use the Banjo to do just that.
This cd take songs from Collision A and re-amps them, with this great collection of live and studio song there is no way that you will be disappointed. If you enjoy Bluegrass or your just sick of the same old same all then collide into Collision B. If your going to get this cd I suggest getting Collision A as well to hear the original song in it's original version. Don't take my word for it hear it for yourself."
Heavy, but Beautiful.

"This is an awsome extension to their album A Collision. I like bluegrass, or hoedown music and that is what most of this is. Some songs have a heavy feel to it, though. I believe this is so because it says in their "album booklet" that their pastor died. They already created an album about death, A Collision, but they didnt expect this. So they remixed or "Acoustic-ted" some songs. I like this album, and Im sure if you like David Crowder at all, you will like it too. P.S. I love the banjo."
B is for Bluegrass...

"With A Collision being one David Crowder Band's most innovative and well-put-together albums, one might think that B Collison - A Collision with a Bluegrass twist - would be unnecessary. But that is most definitely not the case. In folk remixings of songs from their most recent LP, "A Beautiful Collision" and "Wholly Yours", DCB applies some of the roots of early worship and praise music to their recent songs.
A cover of Loretta Lynn's "Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven But Nobody Wants to Die" is haunting and appropriate for the EP, as Crowder has mentioned that the songs are a response to the death of a friend. The band reworks an old blugrass hymn, "I Can Hear the Angels Singing" effectively and the song serves as a transition to the two live tracks included on the album, "Be Lifted" and another bluegrass hymn, "I Saw the Light." Both were performed with two other bands, Robbie Seay Band, and Shane & Shane. You'll be tapping your foot to the "boom-chuck" rhythm, just as Crowder warns.
I thoroughly recommend this album, both as a companion to the brilliant "A Collision" and on it's own."
One of a Kind!!!!

"The David Crowder Band is a very unique band. They are definately one of a kind. I have to say that "B Collision" is their greatest album yet! It has more of a country or bluegrass beat to it because they mainly use the banjo. You might not like bluegrass music at all, but you'll love it in this album. The David Crowder Band makes it sound really cool. Just give it a listen. If you buy this album, I suggest buying "A Collision" also. Whenever it plays, it makes my friends and I want to get up and dance. "B Collision" is a must-have CD."
