Reverend Bill Funderburk sings "He Cared That Much For Me";
Charles Surratt introduces his own composition "On Calvary For Me"
"The Joy of Knowing Jesus" is a song of pure delight featuring John Barbee

The pure tenor quality of the voice of Harold Montgomery
Gives a special interpretation to the grand old hymn "The Old Rugged Cross"
Chill bumps appear and I am frozen in the web they weave as they reveal their
Innermost selves with the outpouring of their hearts...

On and on the songs roll and soon you are caught up
In the sermon in each rendition as you come to feel
The devotion and dedication that is poured forth.
Suddenly, you know they are real, they mean it!

"Let your light so shine..."
Could not be more aptly applied
As there shines a light from heaven on your heart
Through their singing. As an artist, Rhonda Montgomery
Exemplifies piano artistry. That's Rhonda! An artist!

This album can be the instrument to mend a broken heart
Or to straighten out your life through the sincere testimony
In the songs of The Revelaires. A must!

I can't thank of too many really. I guess my family didn't listen to that much of that sort of thing. There was other Christian music around, but it tended not to be rock. Most of it would be of only ironic appreciation value. (The Shorb Borthers anyone?)

charltonlido, since you have now spent a lot more time in a lot of places in the U.S. where I've never really visited, maybe you can explain my country to me.

dude, gareth, there are a million of them. i've got a zillion of them, but 95% of them suck. you really really have to luck out at the thrift store. someone put out a guide for the good stuff some years back. just look for titles, pictures of electric guitars being played, covers, etc. use your nose. it always nose.

Avant Garde label S/D:
Search: John Ylvisaker - Cool Livin'
Destroy: Dust & Ashes - A Different Shade of Blue

― brianiac (briania), Saturday, 2 April 2005 12:41 (8 years ago) Permalink

first, this website: a decade of jesus music, 1969-1979 (lots of sound samples, too)

one that pops up around here (NJ) fairly often is lamb's s/t album on messianic records. not life-changingly great, but some nice folk and sorta country/rural rock elements. "ba ruch ha shem" has some kick ass harpsichord and the catchiest hebrew chorus i've come across. also maybe the only one.

also recommended:
the search party - montgomery chapel (outstanding folk-rock)
harvest flight - one way (ditto)
d.r. hooker - the truth
various - holy fuzz
linda rich - patterns (folk with lovely female vocals)
earthen vessel - hard rock/everlasting life

that "resurrection" comp that came out a while back is worth checking out. and john rydgren's "silhouette segments" lp (old groovy pro-jesus radio spots from the 70s, recent release).

They're late '60s, but the Holy Ghost Reception Committee #9 albums are OK. Kind of like other east coast youngster garage/psych groups like Flat Earth Society. Void did a vinyl reissue of their first album and there's a two-fer CD of both albums on Void's CD label, Hallucinations.

i like that first holy ghost reception committee album okay, that's the one i linked to up above, but part of me thinks i should just tape it and pocket $150 bucks. it's not that great. i never heard the second one. which everyone says is better.

― scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 3 April 2005 03:01 (8 years ago) Permalink

i actually think my best find was a mid-70's eckankar record by this guy john villemonte. it's not all great, but it has one devastatingly beautiful psych-folk song on it that never fails to amaze me. it's truly heavenly. i don't know anybody who has heard it. great cover too. if i were a bootlegger, i would boot it up.

Did anyone hear that compilation CD called Resurrection on the Second Coming label from a few years ago? Here's Aquarius' description:

Subtitled, "The Amplified Side Of Heavenly Grooves". This ain't your momma's gospel music. Nope, this collection brings together some bizarre, funny, and downright groovy '60s/'70s tunes by/for Jesus-loving hipsters. Everything from garage rock to folk to lounge-jazz, and more, including some hilarious spoken word from the "Sunworshippers" (Jesus Freaks up in Eureka, CA). Then there's John Ylvisaker's demented "A Gay Cliche", a song so bad yet so good that it sounds like it belongs on "The Beat Of The Traps". Pat Boone and Dick Hyman also make appearances. Righteous. MOJO writer Will Hodgkinson makes a good point in the liner notes: "I've always maintained that the finest psychedelia is created by people who have only imagined what drugs are like rather than experience them first hand, so who better to make groovy acid rock than Christians?"

yeah, i mentioned that above... i think the holy ghost dudes appear on that under the name "the torchbearers?" can anyone back me up on that.

agree about the ylvisaker, but his version of "wade in the water" KILLS.

also, i have recently gotten a private american folk LP by PAT DECOU AND TEX LAMOUNTAIN (that's a male/female duo, for those keeping track) called DOWN HERE ON EARTH. It is not xian, but it is nice in a sort of lo-fi, naively enthusiast way. it's really got a very nostalgic ssound for me, for some reason. like an idealized hybrid of uh, not Raffi, but that other guy who was on Nick Jr circa 1986--him, AND like the seldom scene or something? i really get into private country/folk stuff, but so much that looks cool is actually kinda lame.. saw a real promising LP the other day, now of course can't remember who it was by, but it had a black and white sleeve that gave off creepy vibes--song titles like "My Mental Problem." Unfortunately music was boring boring boring. I found the first PENDRAGON LP, which is about 50/50 trad Irish music and indistinguished folk-rock. A buck at a thrift store, and it's got a dragon on the cover.

I need to stop myself from digressing on all the mediocre private folk records I've bought this year. Big year for me with that stuff. I sold my Santo record though; I didn't think I needed it even though there were some tracks with nice fuzz guitar.

Revive! I discovered a lot of these records this past year, some great, some only with great moments.
Norman Ezell - Resurrection Day (sad lonely folk record with strings and banjo, very good from start to finish and you can find it sort of cheap)
Jon Byron - New Horizons (A real masterpiece of soft rock folk, really beautiful arrangements with steel guitar and saxophone)
Scott Wesley Brown -S/T (rural folk rock that doesn't really have a weak moment, even a hippie countrfied version of Sonshine)
Kinfolk - Clean (nice country & western folk record with male and female vocals, not a bad record)
Various - Father's Family (compilation of a Houston,TX hippie church with really nice femme vocals)
Carey Landry - Great Things Happen (Somber folk record with nice guitar and guys got a great voice)
Clearing - S/T (hippie folk with both male and female vocals, really dreamy vibe and not a bad song)
Wild Olive Branch Band- Through A Glass Darkly (The title says it all, rural folk rock with great harmonies and rockin' moments)
Sounds of Salvation- S/T (experimental stuff,I can't really describe this well, really good folk songs with voice effects and I think some tape splicing. Beautiful moments too!)
Sons of Thunder - Day Follows Night Nice jazzy folk rock)

And records I've heard and want to own
Ed Drake - Friend Of Mine
Listen - S/T
John Warren - Land Of New Hope

Daniel Rydstedt - Song For Morning really nice rural folkie with pedal steel, moog, fender rhoads Nice!
Tedd Smith - Smash & Grab dreamy psych folk that some how was released on Waco's Light records, impressive!
Dave Dilley - A Reason To Give ex drug user/dealer goes xian folk pop, just got this one in and I haven't stopped playing it!
Al Bohl - The Music Gotta Stop Someday unexpected sometimes funky country folk!

there's a great clip of "Why Should The Devil Have All The Good Music " (here) where he rants about supposed Satanic backmasked messages in rock songs and ends his performance with a Mick Jagger impression. I feel like half of his appeal came from his stage presence and between-song banter/sermonizing, and as good as his records can be, they don't do full justice to how witty and charismatic he was.

search this album (A Time of Peace) and her next one, Let the Son Shine. sweet and soulful acoustic singer-songwriter stuff with occasional folk-rock and country elements. her third album (My Lifetime Now) is a little more hippified, with bongos and "jesus is my drug" messages (well, it's really just the one song "High on the Love of Jesus" that bugs me), but it's pretty good too. no one else can sing bible camp anthems like "They'll Know We Are Christians" and "I Am the Light" with such quiet conviction. she does quite a few John Fischer covers too.

Catholic liturgical jazz, sometimes with choral backing, which might sound like an awful idea but I really dig this record. The choral prats sometimes have a christmas vibe, and the Jazz actually cooks! Weird idea that a pastor had the notion of playing jazz to reach the youth in the late 60's.

I was wrong assumed Ed Summerlin was catholic due to being on the Avant Garde label which is mostly catholic folk, but he was methodist. He had a previous record call Liturgical Jazz from 63 that sounds like it has hip beatnik grooves.

I'll second Linda Rich and Becky Severson. will have to keep the others in mind. are the prices high because these are known, sought-after records, or do dealers automatically slap a high price on any unknown private press record that could possibly entice collectors?

I'd also recommend the British singer Judy Mackenzie and her first album Judy - mostly mellow folk-pop and jazz-pop (sophisti-pop?) with funky horn arrangements on a few tracks. I can only find clips of her second album, but that's pretty good too.

Alison & Jill is on the very collectible Profile label out of Enlgland, most of those records are pricey, most are very good and worth the price. I'm still trying to understand how prices are attached to records, I dunno, a little fuzz guitar seems to help, maybe a flute or organ. Or appearing on a numero comp.
