Arguably, "Together With Him" by the Denver based band, The Moonrakers, is the first Christian rock album ever produced!
The Moonrakers were a premier rock band from Denver, Colorado having released several 45's on Tower Records (1965-1966). This includes one of the most frantic copies of "Baby, Please Don't Go" ever recorded! Although the Moonrakers failed to gain national attention they managed to influence the Denver regional area with great rock performances.
In 1969, the band signed a new recording contract with Shamley Records resulting in their first album, "Together With Him." The Moonrakers caught everyone by surprise with their change in musical direction. Hence, the result was a fusion of psychedelic leanings, religious feelings and the band's rock heritage. The Moonrakers proved they were unafraid of charting new territory in the world of rock music.
Unfortunately, Shamley Records was a small label company unable to adequately promote this new Christian rock album on a national level. Hence, album sales languished and the band members had to reassess their future. Some of them joined the Colorado band, "SugarLoaf" having at least two successful hits. The Moonrakers left the rock scene but not without leaving their legacy intact. In fact, the original Moonrakers band-members recently resufaced and performed a reunion concert in 2006.
