The metal decade gave us a lot of gems and Barnabas is one of them. This is the band’s second album, much more refined than their first. From day one the band showed potential, and with this release the production quality shot up dramatically. Nancy Jo Mann’s solid vocals shout out over some hard marching guitar riffs and a tight band. Even on “If Love Brings Love” with a piano part that would be Layla’s little cousin, the driving guitars won’t let you forget where you are and what decade this is.
This is the 2000 remaster by Rev Hillstrom at Creation Station Studios, Robinsdale, Minnesota. It includes a bonus track “All Alone” which was originally recorded for this album but record company politics kept it off the album at the time.

When it became public that Kerry Livgren of Kansas had been “born again” nobody knew what was next for the iconic 70s band. Drastic Measures is their first recording after that and it is a stellar album by any measure. The sound on Drastic Measures is harder than the sound that Kansas was known for due to songs like Dust in the Wind. The 80s demanded a little more modern and hard rock sound, and they delivered, but not without bringing in the softer sounds needed to bring the lyrics home, or the mood of a song like “Andi.” The opening track “Fire With Fire” lets you know they mean business right away. Even though it’s at a slower pace, “Going Through The Motions” still carries a strong rock vibe with a strong rhythm in it. After this album, Kerry put his efforts into his new band “AD” which was mostly new members, other than Dave Hope.

This EP came out in 1983 from another great group of guys from the MRC group over at the Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa, California. Their Rockabilly style was like nothing else in CCM at the time. In an era where the Stray Cats were popular this album filled a gap in Christian music. These 6 short fun tracks will leave you tapping your foot and even singing along. I have a love of the rockabilly style so I have to admit I was pretty excited when I saw this album. I knew from the cover it was something I was gonna like. The EP must have been popular as the Band came out with a full album (also great) in 1985. Point of trivia is that Darrell Mansfield supplied the harmonica track for “Bucket of Blues”. Also trivia worthy is Ojo Taylor also played some piano and assisted with song writing.

Mike Warnke is a great preacher and a funny guy. This is his early stuff, from 1977, before his wife Rose joined him in the performance. He had a serious knack for using funny messages to make strong spiritual truths. Speaking of truth, it is well known that Mike recanted much of his testimony about witchcraft. Despite that, these records are packed with truths. Communicating truth is the main point of fiction, after all. One thing that is noteworthy listening to his body of work is that even when he comes up to the edge of socially acceptable comedy, he knew how to stay within boundaries. Just like George Carlin and others of his era, Mike could tell jokes that made fun of situations without making fun of people. In doing so, the message is never lost.
It should be noted that Warnke was revealed as a liar and fraudster in 1991 by Cornerstone magazine. This recording is offered as a historic record of what was being listened to in the Christian community in the late 70’s and early 80’s.

This was their fifth release, and their third and final for Light Records. D.M.Z. was the hardest rock that they had given us yet, and it fit the early 80s metal age perfectly.
Opening with a high energy track, Military Man, and pulling out a relentless guitar solo intro on White Noise, they sounded exactly like rock was supposed to in 1982.
The CCM industry at the time couldn’t figure this out but Resurrection band could.
== 1 == Military Man Military Man was the opening track and it became a signature piece for their live shows and a central part of their ceatalogue. The era was still post-Viet Nam. The movie First Blood came out in 1982, Missing in Action in 1984, and Rambo in 1985. Sympathy for soldiers was strong and Glenn’s writing reflected that. A call for pacifism was not the mainstream, but that’s what was different about the CCM world.
== 2 == Reluctance Wendi takes the lead on this song, as she does with three of the ten tracks on this album. She brought energy to the band that Glenn’s vocals, for all their intensity, could not. There were a few critics of Wendi’s vocal style, but there is no doubt she was an integral part of Rez.
== 3 == Babylon Typical Rez fashion was a hard sound like this paired with Glenn’s lyrics about human suffering. In Bablyon his desire to reach lost souls comes through again. The band had a ministry that always returned to the needs of the people, and the desire to share the gospel. At the same time, this is another great rock song from the earliest, hardest Christian rock band of substance.
== 4 == I Need Your Love A rough voice streaming out smooth vocals over a guitar ringing with a mean-streets tone is exactly what we expect from Rez Band. There is energy in the playing, the singing and the writing. This didn’t become one of their most popular tracks but it is just as strong, and a great part of the structure of this album.
== 5 == Area 312 Area 312 is the area code for Chicago’s core, in case you didn’t know. Kids that are born there, grow up there, and need to find hope there are what Rez was about. JPUSA was the birthplace of Rez, and JPUSA was essentially a commune in a needy part of Chicago.
== 6 == No Alibi Almost a hymn of confession, this connects with yet another part of the faith they professed. The process of confession is central to the Christian faith, and whether it is a formal part of your church service or not, here it is, right on your record player ready to bring you into it. Every Rez concert had an altar call where people came forward and members of the band would preach and pray with the people in small groups. This fits perfectly with their message.
== 7 == White Noise is a CCM guitar classic. I remember I was listenting to it and someone asked me, “Is this AC/DC?” I answered that no, it was Rez. “Reall? This isn’t Rez. This is For Those About To Rock.”
It wasn’t AC/DC, and I don’t think a music fan should be able to mix the two songs up, but you get the idea of what kind of music this is. It’s hard rock. It’s what the kids were doing in the 80s. Rez gave us an alternative to following the weird path of Ozzy Osborne, Iron Maiden, Motley Crue, all the way to Twisted Sister. We were proud of the music we listened to because it was different, it was ours, and it was better.
== 8 == Lonely Hearts Loneliness is part of living in a city of 2 million people. It’s a different kind of loneliness, where people are surrounded and alone. Once again bringing the inner city message, this song connects.
Looking back at it from 2018, we look at this as a Tinder attempt to connect with people and finding everything hollow. Emotions stay relevant forever regardless of technology.
== 9 == The Prisoner Rez did a lot of “cause” songs. This one is written from the perspective of a wheelchair bound human being, struggling to be seen as such. I don’t know the back story but it seems clear there is one, and Glenn connected with it. Rez made a big effort to humanize marginalized people, whether it was the poor, the Black South Africans, or the wheelchair-bound.
== 10 == So In Love With You In with everything else, Resurrection Band also wrote praise songs. The Psalms are more blues (lament) than praise, but the praise is there and they never forgot to incldue some of that on their albums. This is a joyful sound, created in the style of Rez.

This is classic Mike Warnke, from what I would consider to be his peak era. His material from around this time was perfectly placed and timed, hilarious and poignant. His Gospel message was perfectly intertwined with his brand of comedy and fun at the expense of himself and his fellow Christians. Despite his later recanting of involvement in occultism, Mike gave us some great stuff. This album includes the classic “Saga of Dougie and Will” which provided no end of entertainment through all my junior high years. Every story has those memorable moments, quotable quips that you can say to your best friend to make them laugh with just a word or two.
It should be noted that Warnke was revealed as a liar and fraudster in 1991 by Cornerstone magazine. This recording is offered as a historic record of what was being listened to in the Christian community in the late 70’s and early 80’s.

This live album was recorded in Mylon’s hometown of Atlanta, and it was a rock’n’roll homecoming. The crowd sounds great, and the band is working them. This is a great example of a live record. Interesting inclusion is the second track “It’s Alright” which appeared on Matthew Ward’s landmark album “Toward Eternity.” Mylon’s version is a different take and it works well for him.

1 – Introduction Jesus Is A Waymaker – 3:29
2 – It’s Alright – 5:14
3 – Free Rap & Freedom – 6:31
4 – Relationships Rap & Child Of The Father – 4:44
5 – Workin’ On A Building / Jesus Is The Rock – 13:42

This album was the one that changed everything for us. I don’t remember what year it was when we got it. Maybe 1980. Maybe 1978 even. After this we started seeking out music that was actually for us. This is part 3 of Larry’s Trilogy, but the first part we heard. Only Visiting This Planet and So Long Ago The Garden came later for us but when put all together, these 3 albums make the most famous parts of Larry’s body of work. There were many other albums released, but nearly all of them contained at least one song from the trilogy. Over the years there were several versions of this album released on CD. This version is the 93 version with 4 bonus tracks that we have included.
==
1 ==
The
Rock That Doesn’t Roll starts out sounding like an alternate version
of Johnny B. Goode. Chuck Berry’s song came out in 1958. The fact
that we were listening to Larry’s album in the 80s made it a little
confusing and a little old-sounding to me, but the fact is these
songs had to have been written no later than the early 70s. Given
that perspective, I say the songs have great staying power.
considering that they didn’t get any “mainstream” attention
until much later.
This
version of I Love You is a completely different song than the one he
recorded at Capitol Records with People!. Interesting that he kept
the name, unlike with other songs where he went with Righteous Rocker
#3. Even when producing Daniel Amos’ Horrendous Disc album, he
managed to get their song called I Love You #19 to make it unique.
Another part of the enigma for me.
==
2 ==
U.F.O.
seems to be part of the 1970s fascination with aliens. There were
plenty of movies out at the time on the topic and so this tied in
well with popular culture. After Larry’s heart attack(s), his doctor
apparently told him he couldn’t play with the band any more but he
still played this song a lot. The guitar part fit well but when it
came to the electronic sound effects he did thouse with his voice and
it sounded funny, also very unexpected. The audience laughed and I
don’t know if that was bad form on his part or theirs.
==
3 ==
I’ve
Searched All Around
Larry
talked about end times a lot. He seemed to have the view that the
world was slowly decaying before our eyes, a popular Christian
worldview in the 60s, 70, and 80s. Songs like this one were about
building hope in Kingdom Come in spite of what we see going on around
us. His ability to put such a dark message into a rich musical
setting like this was perfect. The blues comes through often in
Larry’s songs, although during the Trilogy period it was never a
focus. This song comes across as a great upbeat blues tune if you
listen just right.
==
4 ==
Righteous
Rocker #3
Allegedly
written in a stairwell while waiting to go onstage for a concert,
this song has a quick flow that makes it sound
stream-of-consciousness, just like he wrote it all in a quick rush
like that. Larry recorded various of it, but this a capella one is
the first one he put out there.
Listen
for Larry doing his own background vocals on this song. His
distinctive voice can’t hide. We hear this in a lot of his work,
suggesting he was alone a lot when he was in the studio.
==
5 ==
Deja
Vu
One
of the things that made Larry a great songwriter is that he wrote
about things that were part of regular life. He starts out discussing
relationships between people, “brothers.” He compares it to
our relationship with God and draws parallels that are easy to
follow. Many of the Christian artists both then and now don’t have
this skill. The abliity to draw a comparison between heaven and Earth
is what Shakespeare described as poetry.
==
6 ==
I
Am A Servant
“When
you are lonely you’re the only one to blame.”
This
is both misunderstood and a double-entendre. Larry was too savvy with
words to put something like this out unintentionally. Read the
sentence twice. If you are lonely, it’s your fault. If you are
lonely, there is no-one for you to take it out on but yourself.
Larry
does seem to have been lonely a lot. He had some famous fallings out
with other people in the community, and he faced a lot of accusations
from Christian media accusing him of being “secular.” Like
Shot Down, this is him reflecting and telling us that he is following
his calling.
==
7 ==
The
Sun Began To Rain
Larry
was a poet as well as a songwriter. He even had the title of Poet
Laureate at one point, and that was a point of pride for him. He
really seemed to enjoy laying on thick layers of metaphor like he
does in this song, and he was a master at it.
==
8 ==
Shot
Down
It
seems like he had critics throughout all of his career. In this song
he responds to criticism from Christians who questioned his faith and
his motives. That questioning never went away as far as I can tell,
but at the same time his contribution seems to be huge. If we didn’t
know anything about Larry’s personal life then he seems to have given
us a lot. Maybe the enigma is best left that way to some extent.
==
9 ==
Six
Sixty Six
Subtitled
Rosemary’s Baby on some records. This is the original release version
and it was just called Six Sixty Six. End times fascination was a big
thing in the churches in the 70s and 80s. I remmeber the movie “A
Thief In the Night.” It was super scary and really an earlier
version of those “Left Behind” movies that came out much
later. This song plays into that narrative quite deeply and gives a
great insight into the mood of the Church at the time. Side note:
Larry’s song “I Wish We’d All Been Ready” was a staple of
this movie genre. Larry also appeared in the movie The Blob in the
60s, wearing a cross and warning people. This was obviously a big
topic on his mind.
==
10 ==
Diamonds
Diamonds
and One Way were two songs on this record that seemed like one song,
but clearly two. He could have labelled it either way. The two short
pieces turn into one but there is a clear transition between them. As
the title suggests, this is a commentary on materialism. Its position
in the album works out perfectly to take all the things he has been
telling us in the past ten songs and remind us what ought to be on
our minds.
==
11 ==
One
Way
The
“One Way” sign was something in the 1960s Jesus Movement.
Larry may or may not have been the origin of this, but it was simply
one index finger pointed upward. The two finger peace sign was a sign
of the times, and Larry’s typical fashion was to respond to current
culture with something compatible but different, and clearly tied to
his message and calling. Imagine Larry holding up one hand with his
index finger pointed up, eyes closed, singing this song.
==
12 ==
Song
For A Small Circle of Friends
Larry
mentions a few people by name and by inference here. “Dear Bobby
watch your fears all hide” refers to Bob Dylan. On this
recording you hear the harmonica at that point to make it clearer,
but in live versions he sang “Dear Dylan” sometimes, and he
did the voice impersonation.
“Love
to you Sir Stonehill” was sometimes “Love to Randy
Stonehill” in live versions. They had a complicated relationship
that I don’t think I can explain but obviously he wanted to reach out
for some reason.
“McCartney
on the Hoffner bass” is obviously Paul. Larry told the story
live about meeting Paul McCartney at Capital Records while they were
both on the label. Apparrently Paul said “I like your music.”
==
13 ==
Hymn
to the Last Generation
Larry closes the album with an altar call. He could talk about earthly problems and relationships all through his work, but he always wanted to leave the right message. His concerts did not have altar calls, but at the end of his concerts, which tended to be relatively small when I saw him, he would tell a hall full of hundreds of people that after the concert they could come backstage and talk to him if they wanted to. He would offer to help people and pray with them, in person. I went back there. He meant it.

If you’re the kind of person who can judge a record by the album cover, then you’re on the money with this one.
Billy Smiley was part of White Heart and contributed to other cool projects, but this one is quite different. More of a 1980s jazz easy listening effort.
It’s all instrumental, lots of keyboards, and none of the sort of guitar riffs we expect from the wrote and sang on so many White Heart songs, and more recently, The Union of Sinners & Saints. Billy also produced a number of important CCM albums for other artists. This album seems to have been a vacation in a different place.
Interesting note on the cover art. I’m not sure, but maybe it went like this… “What are we doing for the album cover?” “Don’t worry I’ve got something, we’ll just change it around a bit.” “Okay…” Take a look here at Justo Almario’s jazz album, also released in 1985 on the same label, Meadowlark Records. Even the back cover is a dead match. The front has a little more variation but not much.
