Scott Wesley Brown – Live In Concert Songs and Stories – 1978

Here’s a great but also a little odd album from Scott Wesley Brown. Odd in that it was self released while he was under contract with Sparrow records but it obviously had the blessing of the record company and SWB actually thanked them for their help with the album. Anyway this is a live album recorded at Christ Church in Washington D.C. Unlike many live albums this isn’t the best performances from many concerts but just a recording of one concert. SWB had only had 3 albums released at this point but he was making a big splash on the industry. This concert is a great representation of his concerts in the late 80’s. SWB’s concerts were very intimate and a great representation of who SWB was/is. Backing him up on this album was the band GLAD who did a great job. I absolutely love SWB’s tongue in cheek version of “We Need A Whole Lot More Of Jesus (And A Lot Less Rock And Roll)” originally by Wayne Raney and covered by mediocre gospel bands everywhere in the 70’s. Luckily by the late 70’s Rock & Roll as a whole claimed this song for themselves. Great historic album here and an absolute must listen.
