Scott Toderash – Real 80s CCM

Various – Country Praise (God Loves Country Music No.2) – 1982

This is country as it gets, 1982 style. It’s a traditional country sound, typical of the time. The thing that made me look longer at this one is the heavy hitters in the credits, floating under the surface of the title. David Mansfield, fresh off his work with T Bone Burnett and the Alpha Band picks up not only the guitar here but plays fiddle on several tracks. Country music legend Ricky Skaggs sings harmony on the opening track backing Maria Muldaur. Bonnie Bramlett, another Nashville stalwart sings lead on the closing track. Al Perkins, of Flying Burrito Brothers fame as well as a boatload of other significant bluegrass and country contributions, produced the album. That bluegrass influences shows up particularly on What A Friend and on I Will Serve You.

Larry Norman – Footprints In The Sand – 1994

There are a few versions of this album. This is the 1994 release from Solid Rock Records #SLD-027. Interestingly, there is a European version that is (mis?)labelled Footprints In The Sands but it has the same tracks as the one sold in the US via the Solid Rock Store. There is also a Dutch double CD version that has a total of 30 tracks. The double CD version has some overlap with this track listing, but some tracks, such as “God Part III” does NOT appear on the double CD. The full album title is actually “You Can’t Make Footprints In The Sands Of Time By Sitting Down” as per the CD liner notes. The liner notes include an extensive autobiography spanning the period 1970-1994.

The song by song commentary from Larry is as follows:

Lonely Boy – A song from Larry’s childhood days, reflecting his early isolation.

Hard Luck, Bad News – A humorous exaggeration of the feelings of being an outsider. Whether Job or Pilgrim in the Something New Under The Sun storyline, this song takes alienation t a sardonic extreme.

Sitting In My Kitchen – When Larry lived on his own, contemplating whether to leave Capitol and quit his band, he felt real freedom to seek a higher road and walk a deeper walk and ignore career pressures.

Nightmare #49 – Moving to Los Angeles was a new liberation from the provincial upbringing he had coped with in the ghettos and suburbs. When he sang at a club near Washington D. C. (at the corner of 34th and M) and then checked into the Edison Hotel in Manhattan on 47th and Broadway for several weeks, he felt that his street ministry had stepped up to the next level. One of his converts was Susan Perlman, a young Jewish girl who later started Jews for Jesus with Moishe Rosen. He wrote a lengthy memoir of this journey within the verses of this sly, caustic comedy of a musical diary.

God part Two – When Capital gave Larry an advance copy of the new John Lennon album, the song “God” was one of the first he listened to. “I don’t believe in Beatles, I don’t believe in God,” was how John started the song. He ended it with “I just believe in me. Yoko and me, that’s reality.” Larry wrote an answer to John’s diatribe and called it “God Part Two,” but didn’t want it to be misconstrued as an attack upon John and Yoko. Years later after U2 wrote a response called “God Part Two,” Larry decided it was alright to release his song, updated the lyrics, and re-titled it “God Part Three.”

I Hope I’ll See You In Heaven – This is a song of lost love or friendship or the separation which death brings to mortal relationships. Larry has never really revealed his personal meanings for the song. If it was written from a personal experience. It serves as a look at life from childhood to old age and the regret we often feel for words unspoken and love ungiven.

It’s Only Today That Counts – This song is from Orphans From Eden and examines the importance of living in the moment instead of lamenting the past or anticipating the possible pleasures of potential rewards and accomplishments of our futures.

I Feel Like Dying – This song was included as part of Pilgrim’s ordeal on Something New but was written at the same time when Larry was struggling with his pain and heartbreak over his marriage. No matter how closely he stayed to the storyline, it parallels his sorrow and feeling of helplessness which came after his airplane accident.

Leaving the Past Behind – This song was part of the Pilgrim story but also reflected Larry’s plan to leave Word and sign with Warner Brothers. He knew that crossing back over to the secular industry would be a positive step for his music but also realized that many might not understand why he was ending his contract with Word.

Elias, Schritt & Bell – Awakening – 1982

Although most of the material here isn’t CCM, it is Steve Bell’s early work, which makes it interesting enough for us. “Help Me Lord” is a notable exception but most of the tracks are love songs of one sort or another. It’s a collection of pop-y folk-y songs that sound a little more 70s than 80s. There are plenty of harmonies, and Steve’s strong guitar work is on display here. Elias, Schritt & Bell were a group that Steve played with before starting his solo career, making Christian music for a few decades, and winning a few Juno awards and nominations along the way, as well as various other awards. This was recorded in “Studio 11” at the CBC studios in Winnipeg and released by the CBC. The group did not have any follow up recordings, but did tour locally. Steve released his first solo album in 1989.

Bob Dylan – Saved – 1980

“Saved” was Bob Dylan’s second “born again” album. This series, starting with “Slow Train Coming” in 1979, stretches up to the disputed territory of “Infidels” in 1983. It’s a pretty short period of Bob history but a pivotal one that serves as one of the Great Walls of Before and After in his career.

It starts out with a traditional country gospel number, A Satisfied Mind, that was sung by a lot of cowboys before Bob got his hands on it. Maybe this is a leftover influence from his Nashville Skyline or other previous endeavours. Porter Wagoner had a pretty good run with it in 1957.

There is no country music on this album though. The opening track is a strained, rock influenced plea that begs you to listen to the whole album. There are a lot of soul-styled tracks, such as Saved, Solid Rock, and Pressing On. It’s also a lot of jangly piano rock, recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, Sheffield, Alabama.

One of the great mysteries of Bob’s born again albums is how earnest they all are. Every bit is on the nose and every lyric so convincing you can’t believe anything but what you’re hearing. And then for some 75 other albums he only hints at spirituality.

Don’t be fooled though, the Gospel according to Bob started some twenty years before this album. His early lyrics, and his later lyrics all talk about God and make direct references to the divine and our human relationship to it.

So with this one, enjoy the pleasure of Bob actually perhaps talking about what he’s talking about for once. Less metaphor in one sense, and more on the nose.
That doesn’t keep him from writing fantastic poetry throughout though.
“Covenant woman, got a contract with the Lord…”
“I’ve been broken, shattered like an empty cup / I’m just waiting on the Lord to rebuild and fill me up / And I know He will do it ’cause He’s faithful and He’s true / He must have loved me so much to send me someone as fine as you”

Now the spiritual talk and divine relationships cross over into human relationships. Nearly the opposite of his “secular” writings.

Lastly, let’s remember Bob’s voice. He has used several different voicings through his career, and this one is fairly nasal, putting some people off. But remember to ask your most highly trained singing friends and they will confirm – he knows how to sing. This is just how he does it. He puts every part of every word where he wants it and it works.

2 – Saved – 4:00
3 – Covenant Woman – 6:03

Larry Norman And Beam – Shouting In The Storm (Flevo 2) – 1998

Beam is a band from the Netherlands that Larry toured with in 1998 on a European tour. The studio sessions “Breathe In, Breathe Out” were released as a double CD, revealing their rehearsals for the tour. This is a live recording, also noted as “Flevo 2” on the CD itself. Larry’s “Live at Flevo” with Q-Stone was a success and this recording is just as good as that one. Again, Larry is fronting a tight band here, and a more modern sounding one than the 60s groups he built up in the past to perform material from the People! years and the trilogy albums that followed that. This is a solid 90s sounding band backing Larry on some of his classic songs as well as some newer ones from that era. “God part 3” is a rock version here. We have heard Larry perform and record it in almost every style imaginable, from solo acoustic/folk to studio versions with some bite. Beam adds something here that isn’t in any of the other recordings with upgraded guitar riffs. “Six Sixty Six” is changed from a 70s folk song into a 90s grunge ballad with Larry’s distinctive voice still adorning. The closing track is Larry and Beam covering “Jesus Freak” which was a 90s anthem thanks to both DC Talk and Newsboys. “Shot Down” is remembered as a piano rock song from its original In Another Land release, however there is no piano here. Beam’s full guitar sound make a great update on this classic.

Larry Norman – Only Visiting This Planet – 1972

OVTP is part 1 of Larry’s trilogy, which contains his iconic songs that lasted throughout his career. He never stopped performing “Reader’s Digest” and “The Outlaw” in concerts. Also included is the second studio release of “I Wish We’d All Been Ready” which is his most famous song for people who don’t know who Larry was. The first was on Upon This Rock, released through Capitol Records before he started releasing music through his own channels. In its original form, these are protest songs and relationship songs intertwined. The setting is 1972 and Larry went into the studio with the ideas that were floating in the air in California. Larry’s desire to be as counter-cultural as the hippy movement, but as a Christian drives the content. The songs are highly contemporary musically, ranging from folky in “The Outlaw” to rock in “I Am The Six O’Clock News.” The content gets deeply personal in songs like “I’ve Got To Learn To Live Without You,” and “Pardon Me.” These songs were confusing for Christian music fans because they did not talk about Jesus. The refreshing part here was that Larry was actually willing to talk about human problems. This extended into his political and social protests in the rest of the songs. Larry makes no attempt to hide the Gospel in his music, but also makes no attempt to pretend that human issues don’t need to be addressed, spoken about, preached about and sung about. This is truly what made Larry stand out as an artist.

1 – Why Don’t You Look Into Jesus – 4:03

Daniel Amos – Doppelgänger: The “¡Alarma! Chronicles” Volume II – 1981

This is volume 2 of the ¡Alarma! Chronicles. Between volume 1 and 2 of the Chronicles they switched record labels and got a new bass player. Terry Taylor’s guidance clearly held things together though. This release is peak 80s culture. It fit the model of what was happening in music at the time, even if nothing of the sort was happening in CCM outside of DA. This visionary album was on par with everything else in the scene at the time, but limited by being marketed to the CCM audience.

Undercover – Branded – 1986

Branded was a turning point album for Undercover. It has a mature sound but it certainly leaves behind some of the elements that set Undercover apart in their early days. Their first album featured Ric Alba on lead vocals, then on the follow up Bill Walden took over, as Ric had moved on to Altar Boys. Bill recorded lead vocals on two albums for Undercover before this, their fourth where Sim Wilson took over the mic. The mature sound is very dark compared to the original upbeat, peppy happy-go-Jesus songs on their first two albums. The third record started to get more serious, but not brooding like Branded is. Sim’s vocals are powerful and booming, begging you to take seriously everything he says, ensuring you that the drama is all worth it. Most of the band did stick together, so they still have some signature sounds, although this could have been a different band. The band obviously didn’t see it that way because on this, their fourth album they labelled the record “side 7” and “side 8.” Maybe that was apologetic. There are a lot of introspective tracks such as “I’m Just A Man,” “Cry Myself To Sleep,” and “Come Away With Me.”

Larry Norman – Live at the Mac – 1998

Larry apparently released this album almost grudgingly because he did not have many decent live recordings from this era of his touring and there were bootlegs making the rounds that he didn’t like. Larry stopped distributing Roll Away The Stone (although he continued to encourage people to buy it if they could find it), and he considered Live At The Mac a better version of that. The combination of bad recordings and bad timing haunted Larry’s late 70s work. He was touring but never did get good recordings done with a full band. Later works like the Live At Flevo recordings made up for it in a way, but they are not the same as Larry in this era. To hear it as it was, all we have are some bootlegs and some primitive recordings. This concert was August 18, 1979 in Eugene, Oregon. This CD was released in 1998 through Solid Rock Records and apparently only 200 were made, although some later versions were evidently sold by Solid Rock that were done up as CD-R with the same packaging.

Larry Norman & People! – The Israel Tapes – 1980

This album is generally known as Larry Norman – The Israel Tapes, but it is really Larry Norman and People!, and the record calls itself “The Israel Tapes 1974 AD.” Not much difference really, but the labelling and the timing are both important. The release came out from Phydeaux Records in 1980, after Larry had established his own distribution company, which was primarily a mail order business run out of San Jose. Larry added some of the People! recordings to his catalog and so this is the first time some of these recordings were made public. The musicianship of this group is excellent, and has distinctly different characteristics than the group of studio musicians he worked with in the 1970s and 80s. This concert was done at UCLA for the benefit of The Israeli Fund. The Recording quality is not great, but for a 1974 live record it’s passable. What’s noteworthy here is that this 1974 live performance included a lot of songs that eventually became part of Larry’s core material. The album consists of songs from Upon This Rock as well as the Trilogy, along with a couple of others. This seems to be a reunion concert of sorts. Larry left People! several years prior, and here they are performing with him on subsequent songs. There are 2 different versions of “I Love You,” neither of which is quite the one that appeared on the In Another Land album in 1974, although you can hear the progression that got it there. “I Am The Six O’Clock News” was an anchor song on 1972’s Only Visiting This Planet, and here we get a slower, grittier version of it. “Sweet Song of Salvation” and “Forget Your Hexagram” get some updated arrangements from their original Upon This Rock versions, with great contributions from this band. All in all, a good spin on some classic Larry songs.
