So if you think Denny Correll was, well, a little boring here is the proof he could actually rock. Denny was still doing some secular work after he joined Love Song and this is one of them and while this is not an overtly CCM album there is a common Christian theme throughout the album. The band also included guitarist Anthony Dean who worked with Darrell Mansfield for years. This is a great 70’s style Rock & Roll album that had a worldwide release and I’m a little surprised it’s not better known. The single of course was “Good Old Rock And Roll” which was picked entirely based on it’s name because it’s probably the weakest track on the album. There are many better tracks that could have been chosen and then perhaps we would have heard of this album. So here’s a little known piece of Denny Correll history that deserves to be listened to.

I was a teenager and had my first summer job. RCA Record plant in Smiths Falls Ontario! I was at a Miracle Mart shop in Ottawa. I saw the album, Manna, in a sale bin. They were asking a whole dollar! I bought it!! My dear father was worrying about me getting involved with music and socialist ideas. I was able to opt out of paying room and board : IF I would set aside my convictions. My father actually was so pleased for my conviction for social justice and equality. He worried about his older children trying to wrongfully influence me. Anyhow, I still like to listen to Manna. Especially, Red Man!
