Wild Blue Yonder is the first and only album by Contemporary Christian band Wild Blue Yonder. It is the first official album of Contemporary Christian singer Crystal Lewis who was fifteen at the time of the album's release. She left the band after two years to pursue a solo career. Chris Brigandi of the previously released two rockabilly-themed band, The Lifters, was on guitar. Paul Martin played bass, and Joey Mitchel played drums.
CCM magazine described the style as "a rockabilly, cow-punk band" and saw influences of both Stray Cats and Lone Justice. The album was remixed and re-issued in 1995 on Lewis' Metro 1 label.
Wild Blue Yonder made their debut at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa which often hosted Christian Bands. Like the Knitters, Wild Blue Yonder was created by adding one member and removing one member from their previous band The Lifters.
