The Rex Carroll Band - That Was Then, This Is Now 15th Anniversary CD & Vinyl Remasters

Whitecross. King James. Fierce Heart. Rex Carroll’s guitar work has scorched its way across some of the most iconic Christian rock and metal albums of all time—but in 2010, Rex took a bold detour with The Rex Carroll Band and the release of That Was Then, This Is Now. Channeling blues, soul, and southern rock into a tight, trio-driven album full of swagger and shred, this was more than a side project—it was a statement.

Now, for the first time ever, this fan-favorite album gets the deluxe treatment it deserves—on both CD and vinyl!

ABOUT THE ALBUM
Fifteen years after it first blew the doors off with its blues-fueled swagger and shred-worthy guitar solos, That Was Then, This Is Now returns in a definitive 15th Anniversary Collector’s Edition. Originally released in 2010, the debut from The Rex Carroll Band captured a different side of the legendary Whitecross guitarist—rooted in southern blues, classic rock, and gritty soul, but still overflowing with Rex’s signature axe-slinging brilliance.

Remastered by Rob Colwell (Bride, Deliverance, Saint), this new edition sounds better than ever—and includes two brand new 2025 bonus tracks: the rollicking “Highway Roll” and the gritty rocker “In For Some Trouble,” both exclusive to this anniversary release. Housed in a jewel case with a full-color cardboard O-ring sleeve and including a limited edition Rex Carroll Band collector card, this CD is a must-have for fans and collectors alike.

Whether you're a long-time fan of Whitecross or just discovering Rex’s bluesier side, this album channels the spirit of Stevie Ray Vaughan, ZZ Top, and Glenn Kaiser Band—while delivering enough guitar fireworks to make your jaw drop. Standout tracks like “Circle of Love,” “Working Man’s Blues,” and “Throw Them Bonz” showcase the tight power trio in top form, backed by bass grooves and fiery licks that elevate every listen.

Add to that a personal write-up from Rex himself and you’ve got a true gem in your hands—limited to just 500 CDs worldwide. Don’t miss your chance to own this upgraded slice of guitar-blazing blues rock history!
