CCM stars Casting Crowns consistently return to their roots in worship. They often add a modern twist, like the ringing guitars and Coldplay-style drum swirls that drive “Joyful, Joyful” or the dreamy synths and yearning alt-rock choruses worked into “Hallelujah.” Mark Hall and the group also evoke an idea of the little church on the hill with country-style ballads that are suffused with a warm, woody finish, like “Loving My Jesus.”
