Description
Released on the C&C label(#101277)by Ron & Shirley and is titled "Rock & Scroll". Here is a review of the LP from the GREAT Lama Reviews site(Thanks Aaron) This is an excellent 70s Christian rock album that really doesn’t sound like any other Christian record. It’s mainstream 70s rock, but with diverse songwriting and arrangements, and just a few prog moves. Sax and synthesizer are very well integrated into the sound, and little bits of heavy guitar add some exciting moments. Unlike a lot of other Christian records, the message is relatively subtle and unobtrusive, and the vocals, while unexceptional, have rock strength rather than gospel prettiness. Pure psych fans are often disappointed by this album, but that’s because the “psych” hype is misleading. The low budget production adds a garage-like strength to the loud guitar parts, but otherwise this is just plain old rock and roll. (There are a few cool spacy moments, especially on the great album closer “Bad Love Is A Demon.”) Occasionally their chops aren’t up to their ambitions, but this is a solid listen, with maybe one or two weak songs, and with the longest songs being the best. I love the cheap paste-on cover. Cover and Vinyl are Mint- and it has the two inserts and is autographed on the back by Ron.
