Just bought one on Be-Aye and got a good deal, so I'm going to be listening on wax next week, thanks for offering it digitally. Great, overlooked music.freQazoidiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608531474030069269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6227456633969206697.post-39433404681078070782007-07-16T22:43:00.000-05:002007-07-16T22:43:00.000-05:00Many bands in the 60's and early 70's were influen...Many bands in the 60's and early 70's were influenced by the Jesus movement and their own evangelical or 'born again' experiences. Most who were (like the Byrds and Bob Dylan) had their fling at Jesus rock.<BR/><BR/>Some, like 'America', had members leave to pursue Christian music careers.<BR/><BR/>Others, presented their faith in code, like 'The Youngbloods' in 'Get Together' (when the one who left us here returns for us at last).<BR/><BR/>This band created an album that is full of the good message without often referring directly to religion. They speak of the universal truths of good works and brotherly love, and they do it in such a way as to not be offensive. In fact, this is one of the most upbeat albums I've heard.<BR/><BR/>I like their folksy rock style. While not at the top of the albums J has listed here, this one is none the less a good listen.<BR/><BR/>Thanks J!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6227456633969206697.post-42072533171118906802007-07-15T02:32:00.000-05:002007-07-15T02:32:00.000-05:00This album is very good.

The music is absolutely brilliant. Clearly very tallented musicians over all. I like the Hammond organ, the fine guitar playing and the general drive/groove in the music.<BR/>I really like all the diffrent genre styles combined in the music.<BR/>"Airplane" should've been a hit for the band if edited down to a suitable single format. The moving, beautiful ballad "From a Candle" should also have been a hit.<BR/><BR/>I'm impressed. It's clearly a lost gem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
