It’s definitely a genre where you gotta dig to find the gems. That’s for sure. A lot of the music can come across as campy, derivative, or try-hard at times. And a lot of CCM tends to have an adult contemporary veneer over it that’s hard to escape from. Personally I don’t mind this last bit because as long as the songwriting is good, I don’t mind a bit of AC. But that’s not for everyone.
