Taunnie – “Boy Shoppin'”

Taunnie – “Boy Shoppin'”So, today we do things a little different, instead of my usual Gospel release I’m doing something not Gospel – we have Taunnie’s 1984 pop release on Thunderbolt Records, “Boy Shoppin’” – and I have to say, with a back cover like that, reading over the liner notes and seeing it’s like a song of...

Roosevelt Miller – “The Talking City”

Roosevelt Miller – “The Talking City”I don’t think I’ve ever come across anyone in my life named Roosevelt, except for the Muppet, Roosevelt Franklin (Aside from Teddy Roosevelt and Franklin Delano Roosevelt) I have come across a few Millers though. Today though, we have Roosevelt Miller of Cleveland, Tn. singing “The Talking City” – his fourth album, recorded in 1975... Read More »

David Miller – “Here They Come”

David Miller – “Here They Come”Here They Come by David Miller of Harrison, Ohio – released in 1977, on the Jordan Records label. Who is they? I don’t know, but I’m about to find out with the title track opening the album. The album does indeed open with the track “Here They Come” – and as you’d expect, David Miller... Read More »

The Shiloh’s – “God Bless Ya Brother”

The Shiloh’s – “God Bless Ya Brother”The jackets. The back cover. They’re from Flora, Illinois (but not on the Crusade label) – so far everything looks promising about the Shiloh’s 1970-something album on the GNC Records label. It opens with “Touring That City” – and it starts off slow and quiet, before the group all joins in together to sing this... Read More »

The NeVilles – “Thanking Him”

The NeVilles – “Thanking Him”Here we have Larry & Janet NeVille of Tulsa, Oklahoma with their 1974 self-released album, “Thanking Him” – which was recorded and manufactured by Rite Record Productions. Can I begin by saying Larry NeVille gives me a Ken Snyder vibe? The title track opens this album, and we get the happy, upbeat piano playing before the... Read More »

Chet Taylor Trio – “The Happy Man”

Chet Taylor Trio – “The Happy Man”Aesthetically, that is a really pleasing cover. But also, it doubles as a spot the differences type of image. I’m back again, and today (tonight) we have the Chet Taylor Trio on American Artists Custom Records, I believe they’re from the Missouri, and that is most likely Chet in the center. It’s also dedicated to... Read More »

Martha Pilkenton – “Sincerely, Martha”

Martha Pilkenton – “Sincerely, Martha”Martha Pilkenton of McKinney Texas released her album on hers and her husband, Ken’s label sometime in 1980. This is it. It starts with the classic “Born Again” and Martha definitely has a very country sounding voice, and she’s particularly good at singing this one. It’s a real nice version of this song too. Next...

Hagood Hardy – “The Homecoming”

Hagood Hardy – “The Homecoming”I’ve always wondered if it’s pronounced Hey-good, Ha-Good or Hag-ood… Here we begin with Canadian composer, Hagood Hardy’s best known album, “The Homecoming” The album, naturally, begins with the title track “The Homecoming” which is actually Mr. Hardy’s best known song, and you know I do find writing about instrumental albums to be the most difficult...

The J.B. Betts Family – “Happiness is the Lord”

The J.B. Betts Family – “Happiness is the Lord”So, here we are with the J.B. Betts Family of Mississippi, Mr. and Mrs. J.B. Betts pulled together all the kids to make this album with the littlest of the bunch joining the rest of the family on this album. We start off with the titular track of the album, “Happiness is the Lord” and... Read More »

Jack Campbell & the Ambassadors – “Gloryland is Not Far Away”

Jack Campbell & the Ambassadors – “Gloryland is Not Far Away”I have been holding off on this one because it just looks so promising, the front cover, the guy on the far right and then just the track listing sounds amazing. I’ve never heard any of these songs before, but here we are! The album opens with the title track of course, “It Happened with... Read More »
