Description
Rolled Away is an album by the American singers David Grover and Judy Lunseth, independently released on Persephone Music in 1979. The album was recorded during the Summer of 1979 by Greg Steele, Wayne Tremblay, and Steve Schwartz at Derek Studios in Dalton, Massachusetts; with Steve Rose producing. Mixed by Jon Graboff. Arranged by David Grover and Stephen C. Rose and written by Rose. (Persephone Music publishes, records and distributes Biblical songs by Steve Rose.) Featuring David Grover (lead vocals, bass, guitars, organ), Judy Lunseth (lead vocals), Amasa Miller (piano), and Terry Hall (drums), with Jon Graboff sitting in on mandolin and guitars on the title track. Background vocals provided by Grover, Lunseth, Graboff, and Rose.
Rolled Away is another fine project by Stephen C Rose who also worked on the excellent Stranger Named Peace album from this same small custom label. The main performers and vocalists are David Grover (bass, guitars, organ) and Judy Lunseth, joined by Terry Hall (drums), Amasa Miller (piano), and Jon Graboff (mandolin). Rose wrote all the songs and also contributes background vocals. Rolled Away has a certain artistic integrity about it – an authentic roots country folk sound with a touch of old-time spirituals blended in. Usually slow and acoustic oriented with classy guitar picking action throughout, the exception being «Swallowed Up In Victory», a more rock-edged track that features a great acid electric lead. Other selections have titles like «Cast The First Stone», «Plant Your Seed In The Good Ground», «As The Hart Longs», «If Everyone Loved Everyone», and «Things That Shall Remain». These Persephone folks were definitely on the cusp. [Ken Scott, The Archivist, 4th edition]
