Concern - America Where Are You (1973)

Gene: Xian Christian Rock Folk Jesus Music
Password: 2020MUSIC

Notes:
Another super scarce one with something like a 200-300 press I’ve heard. On America, Where Are You? the former Guitar Ensemble (now renamed Concern) duplicates seven of their best songs from the You-N-You sessions plus a couple from Have Faith. But it’s the previously unheard tracks that are the real treat here. The addition of electric guitar to all four songs pushes the group’s sound further in the rock direction. At the same time the organ is given more prominence in the mix, making their previously subtle psych edge noticeably more distinct. The opener ‘Lone Man’s Plea’ has a cool wah-wah thing going down coupled with dizzying organ – a sound not too distant from Azitis. ‘Clap Your Hands’ employs a catchy mid-tempo banjo-plunking rhythm, followed by the mesmerizing ballad ‘Abortion’ where the soft-psych vibe is in top form. Add the sharp marching hippie beat of the title track and you could potentially even snag a Jefferson Airplane fan or two. Comes in a very plain-looking red cover with the title in white, the back of similar design with exclamations of “Unity!”, “Sharing!”, “Abortion!”, “Identity!”, “Prejudice!” and “Pollution!”.    (The Archivist, 4th edition by Ken Scott).

01. Lone Man’s Plea

John Polce - Your Love is Changing the World (1978)

Gene: Folk / Jesus Music
Password: 2015

Notes:
Like John Michael Talbot, Jon Polce is the type of folk-singer that immediately grabs your attention through skilful musicianship, stirring vocals, and a lengthy free form style that stands in contrast to the usual 3- minute verse-chorus-verse songs. Six of the seven compositions use the simple approach of voice accompanied only by acoustic guitar, including the beautifully delicate 9-minute ‘Silver Nor Gold’. Title track is a simple praise tune with backup singers and small band. Solemn meditative presence throughout this whole work . (Ken Scott – Archivist).

Trinity House - Flashback Through History (1977)

Gene: Jesus Music / Rock
Password: 2015

Usually when I see a group advertised as a “garage band” I anticipate a real low-budget muffled sound, like it was recorded deep in the bowels of some submarine or something. While this British trio’s obscure (only 500 made) lp probably didn’t have a big budget, and while they’re clearly amateurs, I’m pleased to say that there are no production snafus here. Yes, this is garage rock, folks! – with trashy raw guitars shining in the forefront. Not a keyboard lick on here. Some late-’60s psychedelic effects make it sound about 8 years earlier. Some long progressive songs – not the kind of thing that goes through your head all day. Some straight-ahead grungy rock and roll. They stumble to stay in sync occasionally, but given the crudeness of the project that just makes it all the more fun! Royally British sounding, too. Intriguing song titles like ‘Victim Of Today’, ‘The Name Behind The Face’, ‘Epitaph To Icarus’, ‘Warning Lights’, ‘Stormy Night’ and ‘T. H. Take 3’. “It may have happened far away in a distant land so many years ago; but in three short days the world was shaken, and the curtain of our history torn in two.” Three long-hairs for Jesus whose opus is well worth seeking out.      (The Archivist, 4th edition by Ken Scott).

Tracks:
01. Victims Of Today
02. A Child Is Born Pt. 1
03. A Child Is Born Pt. 2
04. The Name Behind The Face

Sonfolk - Self Title (1971)

Gene: Jesus Music / Rock
Password: 2015

Minnesota’s Sonfolk consists of two guys and one girl, backed on this appealing primitive custom production by five additional guests. Side one consists mainly of folky guitar-and-piano light rock covers such as ‘Sweet Sweet Spirit’, ‘Morning Has Broken’, and ‘Wish We’d All Been Ready’, dragging a bit on a medley of ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ and ‘The Old Rugged Cross’. A lazy country rocker ‘God Power’ pokes along quietly with some nice electric guitar. Side two, however, are where the real surprises come in. ‘Stand’ charges forth with a crude driving fuzzed riff, ending with some psychy warbled reverse guitar. More psychy basement guitar envelopes the forlorn ‘Traveling Man’, an excellent rural rock kind of ballad. The bluesy ‘Personal Boogie’ struts along slowly with wailing harmonica, slick bottleneck guitar and seedy vocals, while the ballad ‘Matthew 6:22’ gets a lift from a wistful violin accompaniment. The moody rural vibes resurface on the powerful 7-minute ‘Homecoming’, starting softly on a mysterious acoustic theme, building up to a hard-rocking climax, then quietly fading out again. Simple black and white cover photo of the trio seated under a pine tree. (The Archivist by Ken Scott, 4th Edition)

Tracks:
01 – Sweet Sweet Spirit
02 – Morning Has Broken
03 – Bridge Over Troubled Water The Old Rugged Cross
04 – God Power

07 – Traveling Man

Harlan,John,Todd - Time Takes on Meaning (1973)

Gene: Jesus Music
Password: 2015


Good lazy rustic understated kick-back country folk private from Grand Rapids Michigan group featuring John Burggraaff (guitar, harmonica, piano), Harlan Hyink (guitar, bass) and Todd Gould (guitar, bass), along with Ross Phillips on drums. A couple standout tracks with electric guitar - cool tremolo twang on the title track, some fun rudimentary noodling around on ‘A Song To Sing’. Nice brooding 12-string theme on the moody ‘Blue Horizon’. Ten original songs, some of the other titles being ‘Why Do You Turn The Other Way?’, ‘Keep Me Through The Weak Parts’, ‘Grey Sky At Dawn’, ‘Those Who Are Forgiven Much’ and ‘Walking In The Shadows’. (The Archivist by Ken Scott, 4th Edition)

Everlasting Praise - S/T (1972)




Gene: 70s Jesus Music
Password: 2015


With crude electric guitar strumming over a crisp drumbeat, Pennsylvania’s Everlasting Praise brings to life several standards, enveloping them with that lovable home-made real-people charm. As a straight acoustic group they’d sound pretty ordinary, but that plugging in dds the garage edge and makes all the difference in the world. The harmonies and overall sound of these four guys and two girls are clearly amateur, but then that’s what makes albums like this so interesting. The formula works especially well on tracks like ‘My Sweet Lord’ and ‘One In The Spirit’ (which features a couple dandy guitar solos). Other selections include ‘Let’s Talk About Jesus’, ‘Without Him’, the Beatles’ ‘Let It Be’ (“sweet Jesus comes to me”), ‘God’s Love’, ‘The King Is Coming’, ‘For Those Tears I Died’ and ‘Reach Out And Touch The Lord’. 1000 pressed. (Ken Scott – Archivist).
