Thanks dr wu..... I recall as if yesterday buying this album, my mom used to sign the Child Benefit book every Tuesday.... I'd bunk off school early, go to main post office in Nottingham and draw on the money as an 'agent'.... Treat myself to a coffee and a rumbaba cake and skip into Selectadisc store... This gem on the Dawn label was in the second hand racks for less than 2 bucks!One more from Second BIrth by Gravy Train.....
Second Birth, sounds like an industrial revolution tribute.... but in his lyrics destruction and injustice are very apparent. Tolpuddle.... obviously.None of their songs from their 4 lps have any 'Christian' imagery to me so he obviously buried it in the songs. And I have listened to 2 of the lps quite a bit.
Always liked this from the first....like early Jethro Tull.
Gravy Train -The New One
Maybe it's me.... but I don't really know what religion people are that I know. Oddly though most Christians/catholic or protestant folk I do know...... absolutely dig rock and heavy stuff too. I'm just happy to listen and discuss music and a myriad of other subjects regardless of their faith..... non- believers sometimes feel (in my humble experience) that they have to let you know they aren't religious etc... a bit like vegans and Tesla drivers... you only know they are this because they keep telling everyone!!!!A born again southern Christian rocker from Chicago originally...now thats really interesting to me.
I'm agnostic for over 50 years so I dont hang with people who are born again or otherwise and my friends who are Catholic aren't big music fans anyway and no one else I know leans that way. We have a large fundamantalist Baptist church/school group in the area and those I have met don't listen to most rock. Several used to work for me in my office in the old days and they did not listen to anything but religious music/easy listening stuff. They think that music like rock is from satan.
I thought that track from Chapman was well done but not my thing. I dont really listen to any 'country' other than some classic rock stuff that has country influences like Neil Young or Allman Bros Band, etc.There are a few 'outliers' I listen to like Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams, Alison Krauss ...but I dont think they have any Christian imagery per se.
I used to listen to Spocks Beard (Neil Morse)...prog rock... then Neil Morse left to do 'Christian prog rock'...with his band and it was just not the same vibe for me. I like Kings X...prog metal....but their lyrics are not overtly 'christian' so it doesnt ruin the music for me. Other than that I dont know much about 'Christian rock'.
Well .....you live in Ireland where everyone is Catholic.....a breed unto themselves.Maybe it's me.... but I don't really know what religion people are that I know. Oddly though most Christians/catholic or protestant folk I do know...... absolutely dig rock and heavy stuff too. I'm just happy to listen and discuss music and a myriad of other subjects regardless of their faith..... non- believers sometimes feel (in my humble experience) that they have to let you know they aren't religious etc... a bit like vegans and Tesla drivers... you only know they are this because they keep telling everyone!!!!
