Description
Barry McGuire- Lighten up - Xian Folk/Rock 1976, Gate fold on Myrrh Records, vinyl and sleeve are very good, s other than some light shelf to the cover it is excellent, the disc is nice and shiny looks rarely played ex radio station archive.
Lighten Up is both quieter and heavier than its predecessor. Much of the same band from Seeds is re-enlisted (including 2nd Chapter on backing vocals), but the production is less cluttered and without strings, allowing a better environment for Barry’s folk and rock leanings. Intense rockers like ‘Don’t Blame God’ and ‘Hey World’ give full vent to Barry’s raspy voice others like the acoustic re-make of ‘Eve Of Destruction’ or ‘Callin’ Me Home’ are3 accompanied solely by guitar and piano respectively. Also rocking with substance are ‘Pay The Piper’ (good organ solo), Buck and Annie Herring’s ‘Walk In The Sunshine’ and the closing ‘Anyone But Jesus’. Moodier textured tracks like ‘You’ve Heard His Voice’ and ‘How Many Times’ are intensified through Barry’s Convicting vocal performance. By far his best studio lp I’d say. Gate-fold cover. (The Archivist, 4th edition by Ken Scott).
I will be adding many rare christian lps from the same archive over the following days so do check my store listings over the coming days.
