One of the first Jesus rock acts to emerge in the 60's, this classic recording is part folk, part psychedelic, and part electric boogie-blues. Features the legendary Glenn Schwartz on guitar.
Totally essential Jesus rock album. A touch more garagy would be all that I would ask for. Some prog baroque chamber folk with harpsichord, strings, piano, and woodwinds. Some other-worldly smoky dream psych. Some stripped-down electric boogie blues. And that's just side one! ...One of the first (Jesus rock bands) to feature a "secular" star in James Gang/Pacific Gas & Electric lead guitarist Glenn Schwartz, and he simply burns on the rockers. Adding shades of beauty and grace with vocals, violins, cello, and keyboards are sisters Kim and Pam Massman. Rev. Larry Hill sings and handles the spoken word. An odd congregation that collectively created an atmosphere that represents the best in what was once Jesus rock.The vocals on this album are great! Between the psychedelic sound of Larry Hill and the at times James Taylor type vocals of Joseph Markko are superb. Definatly a recommended title for fans of late 60's rock.

ABOUT THEIR DOUBLE CD
2 classic smokin' blues-rock albums on 1 CD! This is the heavier side of the All-Saved Band, complete with an organ, harmonica and the blazing guitar work of former James Gang member Glenn Schwartz front and center.All those blues rockers they'd been saving get released here full force. This album is non-stop sizzling stuff beginning with the danceable hand- clappin' opener "Peace, Love, and Rock And Roll." Plenty of heavy organ, harmonica, and of course Glenn Schwartz's searing guitar fireworks. "Lonely" closes out side one and slows the pace down a bit - sounds like skating rink music. "Frog Alley" is an eerie weird piece of boogie woogie followed by the hilarious "Messed Up" in which the singer rattles off his testimony at about 180 mph! This in an incredible album folks. So much variety here, too - it never gets boring.
