March For Christ – “Come On and Pray”
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “March For Christ evolved out of the need of three young Christians to praise the Lord, in a very cloistered surrounding of a state run school. They have overcome many adversities in their efforts to share what being a Christian means to them and how…

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: Organs, Quebec and handlebar moustaches. All good things in my book. So, this album opens with the track “Tea for Two” and it’s played as a ‘cha cha’ style song, and well, it’s really relaxing and relaxing music is what I need…

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: So, everyone who knows me knows I love Tom Petty, everything about his music is amazing to me. This album in particular, I had bought solely because of the song “Don’t Come Around Here No More” – which is a fantastic track,…

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “The music of the well known Peter & Carol is presented on this album in traditional old-tyme style. A blend of ancient Scottish, Irish, and self-composed make this album one of the best of it’s kind. Folk festivals, nite-clubs, tours, and concerts keep these two…

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: Is it honestly necessary to write an intro to a Little Richard album? The coolest part, the label it’s on, was bought by K-Tel. So, the album opens with the song “Lucille” and Little Richard kicks it off with some wicked piano…
