Peacock released gospel/soul albums in the early 90's, which included grammy-nominated ''The Secret of Time'' (1990) and ''Love Life.'' (1992) Love Life was a controversial album due to it mixing {{Intercourse With You}} and {{God Is Love Songs}}, blurring the line between sexual and spiritual love. It also contained Peacock's most well-known song, "In The Light," later {{covered up}} by dcTalk.

* {{The Cover Changes The Meaning}} -- Peacock always loved the song "[[SimonAndGarfunkel Mrs. Robinson]]," and after he covered it for West Coast Diaries Volume 3, he stated that he believed that the forgiveness of Jesus was a valid way to look at Mrs. Robinson's situation.

* {{Out Of Genre Experience}} -- Done with a track that's [[IncrediblyLamePun actually called "Experience"]] in the album Secret of Time. "Experience" is seemingly a hip-hop/rap track, but The Secret of Time is more of a R&B/gospel album. This is also done with "Human Condition," a folksy country-sounding track on Lie Down In The Grass, an otherwise acoustic pop-oriented album. Though the guitar predominantly used in "Human Condition" briefly appears in a few other songs on the album.

** {{Not Christian Rock}} -- However, many of his lyrics are written vaguely enough to be considered this instead. Peacock considers Jesus (as well as a variety of jazz artists) to be the inspiration for his lyric-less jazz music. {{YMMV}}
