  Bride Albums & Lyrics @ SongLyricsLibrary.com
Being encouraged by Producer and friend Dino Elefante Bride was courted by "Organic" records.
Bride was soon back in the studio under a new recording agreement laying down fresh tracks under the producing direction of Dino and John Elefante and the result was "The Jesus Experience." "The Jesus Experience" modernized Bride's sound forever and the stigma of old style rock was shed for a more acceptable mainstream rock sound.
Bride then released the second CD on "Organic" called "Oddities." With Dino, John and Bride as producers this ninth release "Oddities" marked another pinnacle in the evolution of Bride's sound and lyrical direction.

 SOUND KITCHEN: Watching the Dough Rise
Between Dino's productions-he has produced records for major CC artists, including Petra, Carmen and Nikki Leonti-and John Elefante's success as an artist in the growing genre, a significant percentage of the studio's initial revenues came from that sector, which was experiencing growth even as country music, the staple of Nashville's studio community, was dwindling.
Dino Elefante says several major Nashville producers, including Mike Clute, Brown Bannister and Michael Omartian, have been guaranteed availability at the facility regardless of when they book, which also helps alleviate the sting of the growing number of producers who build their own studios.
Dino Elefante is aware that the facility's rapid success has engendered some envy on Music Row, where many studios continue to struggle with country music's changing fortunes.

 Drastic Measures - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Despite the success of Vinyl Confessions, both among mainstream and Christian audiences, the album was criticized in some quarters--especially by Rolling Stone--for being too repetitive of Kansas' prior efforts.
Drastic Measures was new lead singer John Elefante's attempt to change that perception, and his compositions dominate the album, with Kansas co-founder Kerry Livgren only contributing three tracks.
Livgren and Dave Hope left the band to found AD, while Elefante went on to become a successful producer of Contemporary Christian music bands like Petra as well as a popular CCM performer in his own right.
