Tom Parker - Let All the Earth Sing His Praise (Excellent 1969? US Xian Folk Psych LP on WLSM)

 

Very great Xian Folk Psych LP released in 1969(?) on the little World Library of Sacred Music label (Cincinnati, Ohio).

"The strange cover illustration of peace signs, a priest, a flower child, an elephant, onion domes, a pagoda, a happy sun, etc. would seem to imply a fairly hip album lurking within. And indeed there is - guitarist and songwriter Tom Parker excels in the minor-key Catholic small-folk-band sound. Assisting Tom are Jim Rosch and John Nuttall who handle the vocals. Stripped down basic vibe, sometimes electric along the lines of label-mate Jack Miffleton. Nice tempo mix, the fast Latin feel of 'All You Nations' juxtaposed with brilliant mysterious ballads like 'Charlotte's Song'. (from 'The Archivist' - 4th Edition by Ken Scott)


Listen :   A4. Charlotte's Song  &  B5. All Your Nations

Beautiful isn't it ? 


An amazing LP from start to finish !

Try to forget it's a Xian LP, close your eyes ... and enjoy it !
