David Veglahn - Jesus, Send Your Righteousness (Nice 1975 US Private Xian Folk LP)

 

Private 1975 Xian Folk LP from David Veglahn out of Loma Linda, CA.
A fantastic album front-to-back.
All music and lyrics are original (and great) compositions written by David.
Mellow, minimal loner folk with sparse but rich orchestral accompaniment.


 Listen : B1. The Joy of His Love

A5. My Jesus I Love Thee

 

"Ce disque m'a tout de suite semblé familier. Pour cause, il me fait penser à un Jim Meyer qui aurait délaissé l'Avatar pour se consacrer au Christ ! La ressemblance est avant tout vocale : une voix puissante, mais paradoxalement fragile. Jesus, Send your Righteousness ne comporte que des compositions originales, toutes bien pensées et exécutées. S'il est à ranger dans le bac loner folk, David Veglahn est le plus souvent accompagné (basse, piano, harmonica, melodica, etc.) lui donnant un côté apaisé, en plus d'un charme pastoral." Review by Alexandre on his somewherethereismusic blog.

Music composed by John Crisp
Recitations written by Geoff Warren
Lyrics written by John Crisp & Geoff Warren

Listen : A1. Brecklandia

B7. Father William

A3. Hot Metal

To my ears this is one of the of the best Acid Folk albums committed to vinyl. Very little has been written about this magnificent album. Hopefully this will get a bit more recognition as anyone into whimsical folk will absolutely love this ! (review by Alex Kerner on YouTube)

Definitely a true masterpiece in my humble opinion !
