These are the 15 naffest Christian album covers of all time
THANKS to the likes of YouTube, Spotify and Apple Music, album art often isn't as appreciated as it used to be.
But musicians of days gone by were all about album art - and featuring the likes of "Jesus Use Me", "Sounds Of His Coming" and "Lord Touch Me", these hilarious Christian music album are some of the best.
1. Mike Crain - God's Power
15
Mike here describes himself as a 'Karatist Preacher' - and helpfully demonstrates his skills on the album cover, as he can be seen breaking some building blocks in half with his bare hands. Whether that's his power or God's at work remains unconfirmed.
2. The Louvin Brothers - Satan Is Real
15
It's not quite clear what's scarier - the thought of Satan being real, or Ira and Charlie Loudermilk's matching white suits and crazed facial expressions.
3. The Rappin' Reverend - I Ain't Into That
15
Released around the same time as legendary hip hop group N.W.A's formation, it's clear to see where The Rappin' Reverend gets his musical inspiration. But that's where the similarities end - Dr. C. Dexter Wise III is as straight edge as it gets.
4. The Singing Midget Lowell Mason and the Crusaders - Sing for God and Country
15
Well, it's not the catchiest band name ever, is it?
5. Mike Adkins - Thank You For The Dove
15
How is that dove staying so still? Surely he's not actually holding a dead dove. Surely not.
6. Ann Kathleen Beaty - God's Chosen Puppet
15
Presumably Ann Kathleen meant well - but this album cover truly is the stuff of nightmares. And as for her hand gestures... well they don't seem very Christian at all.
7. Country Church
15
She looks very pleased to be there. And who can blame her? It's well known that no woman can resist a man in... a turtle neck, tank top and plaid trousers.
8. The Faith Tones - Jesus Use Me
15
No, Faith Tones, don't say that!
9. The Winfield Gospelaires - He Did It All For Me
15
Again, it's mind-blowing that this made it onto an album cover without anyone objecting.
10. Orvel & Orvella - Lord Touch Me
15
Orvel and Orvella - is that really the sort of message you want to be sending out? Is it really?
11. Ira North - If I Were A Woman
15
When Beyonce did 'If I Were A Boy', it was obviously a hit. But this? What with the slicked back hair, the Bible and the intense stare... this is just plain creepy.
12. The Holy Milk Men - Quarts Of Love
15
Well, at least the local tailor was probably really pleased to sell his entire stock of white suits in one go.
13. Erick and Beverley Massegee - Amen!
15
It's a miracle Beverly Massegee can sleep at night after getting so close to that doll - after all, it does look like it's come straight off the set of a horror movie.
14. Marcy Sings - Jesus Loves Me
15
And Beverly isn't the only one who's got her hands on a creepy puppet - except, even worse, it looks like this one is meant for children.
15. The Handless Organist - Truly A Miracle Of God
15
A finally, playing the organ without hands is certainly impressive. This album cover, however... not so much.
