So I’ll straight up admit I never hears of John before this album made its way across my desktop. He’s actually fairly well known and has a great history with music. In the 60’s he was in a fantastic obscure secular 60’s band called Peter & The Wolves (Not the recent Canadian version). I went back and listened to his work back them and it’s great. Later in the 80’s he was with a band called Fresh Air that had one album that I am feverishly looking for. Anyway this appears to have been his first Christian album and it is great. It has an early 70’s feel and a late 60’s feel on a few tracks. So if you missed this one back in the day give it a listen, it’s pretty darn good.

This is a really nice album. I have not listened to it in years, need to revisit. The Fresh Air album is good, too. I used to listen to that one a lot. Hope you can get ahold of it as I have no way to listen to my LPs anymore. John Pantry also did a really fun live album with Fresh Air members doing backing vocals. It was called Hot Coals in the UK, I believe, and Not Guilty in the US. (Can’t remember if you already covered that one.)
A really good album. I saw John a few times. I had this on cassette which John signed for me. I was at the live recording of his live album Hot Coals and my name is on the album sleeve.
