Description

4 COMPANY: Song For A Friend (EMI Custom YPRX-1445) 1978 Australia
Beautiful Australian girl / guy acoustic foursome, simple and pure, soft and delicate, afresh with the same spirit as some of the top UK folk records (the person I got the LP from likened their style to Tudor Lodge). Gentle stirring creative harmonies from Susanne and Marilyn Noble, John King, Stephen Watts, backed by acoustic guitars, rendering original titles like Dip 'N' Derry, Rock And Roll, Friends, North Of Jericho, If Only The Fire and the intensely touching Clover. Also moving interpretations of Randy Matthews Evacuation Day, Larry Norman I Am A Servant, Joe South (a lyrically-revised version of Don't It Make You Wanna Go Home) and Noel Paul Stookey Hymn. Especially lovely when it's just the two girls harmonizing on songs like Lebanon and Song For A Friend's Wedding. The latter track includes some bongo accompaniment, as does Behold The Tabernacle of God. An extemely rare record on Australia's Custom branch of EMI, also home to superb rarities by Flock, Kindekrist and Ignis Christi.
- from KEN SCOTT's book, Vintage Vinyl Jesus Music 1965 - 1980
