Age of Faith

American Christian rock band. Formed in 1987 by Jimi Ray and Rick Harwell. The duo and sometimes band released two nationally released recordings under the Benson Music Group label, and toured until parting ways in 1994. In 1996, Ray re-formed the band with Steve Blair and David Buchanan and signed a record deal with Gray Dot out of Atlanta. AOF recorded 3 nationally released CDs with Gray Dot. Their first produced the #1 radio hit "The Love of Jesus". They also found chart success with "Red Carpet" and a #5 video for "Walk In My Shoes". The band would also embark on a tour along with Bill Scott, radio host of the nationally syndicated show "Z-Jam". Age of Faith recorded their last studio project, called "Still..Songs of Restoration", in 1999. 'Still' showcased the band's musical side apart from the acoustic rock driven flavors of their former recordings. This was their worship record. While not a church oriented worship record, many of the songs were vertical in the lyrical content. It also showcased "Selah" as background vocalists. In 2000 AOF played its last concert.
