The Blood (album)  The Blood is an album by alternative Christian rock artist Kevin Max that was released December 26, 2007. Unlike Max's previous albums (both solo and as part of dc Talk), "The Blood" is a gospel album instead of having his usual rock stylings. Max had commented for the press release, stating, "It has taken me almost two decades to come full circle and realize how much gospel music has inspired me and influenced my decisions in music." He also explains a bit more on the style, stating, ""The Blood" is not a classic hymns cover project or a white/homogenized version of black gospel or soul music, it's a sensitive and stylized adaptation of the music that was at the root of rock and roll, blues, and popular culture."
