Jars of Clay were the breakout band of the so-called alternative CCM movement
of the '90s, scoring an enormous mainstream hit with their debut single,
"Flood." The group's lyrics may have been exclusively Christian, but their
mostly acoustic music fit perfectly into the folky jangle pop wing of
alternative rock radio, at the time a rarity on the contemporary Christian music
scene. Not only did their success set the stage for breakthroughs by Christian
bands like dc Talk and Sixpence None the Richer, but it's also difficult to
imagine the later popularity of heavier, Christian-themed hard rockers like
Creed and P.O.D. without Jars of Clay having established the viability of
fusing spiritual themes with mainstream alternative rock sounds. As popular
tastes shifted, Jars of Clay found it increasingly difficult to maintain their
secular audience, but still commanded a sizable following among Christian youth
and remained one of the highest-profile groups in any gospel-music subgenre.
