ron griffen: WALK ACROSS THE WATER private xian folk SS
(Click to Enlarge) 1976 ORIGINAL ON F.E.L., PRIVATE PRESSING OUT OF LOS ANGELES.
COVER = SEALED
VINYL = SEALED
Ron Griffen and his group Leaven are another fine example of the mid-'70s Catholic folk style. While several outfits followed the liturgical minor-key formula, these folks opted for the happier-sounding "Jesus folk" variety. They began with a sterile unison-singing buncha-guitars-and-a-trumpet "youth group" sound (see entry under The Leaven), but Walk Across The Water fixed all that, placing Griffen in the vocal spotlight, showcasing his own songwriting, trimming down the number of participants, and defining the arrangements with the usual FEL label care. Tunes like 'Free To Live', 'Sing A Joyful Song', 'Come, Follow Me', 'Rise Up, Pilgrim' and 'I Thank The Lord' all plunk along with the jubilant spirited sound of jangly 12-string guitar, banjo, flute, tambourine and female backing harmonies (i.e., Leaven). One can easily picture these hand-clappers working their way into the young adult folk-worship songbooks. Trumpets still pop up on a couple songs. Also some pleasant ballads including 'Wings To Fly' and 'Today I Give My Life To You'. (The Archivist by Ken Scott, 4th Edition)
