Description
He Hath Done Great Things For Us!, a double album, is the final studio recording by the American country-rock band The Bridge, independently released on Sword Records in 1977.
By this time the hippie looks were gone, the production was smoother and the music was dotted with pop and praise influences. My initial response to this two-LP set was disappointment as I missed the underground folk-rock edge of their previous albums. But taken by itself, He Hath Done Great Things For Us is not all that bad. There’s actually a fair amount of dreamy mellotron activity in the background, plus enough flute, acoustic/electric guitars and heartfelt harmonies to remind you it’s still them. Several long extended tracks: 9:50 for «I Will Sing Of The Lord»/«I Can’t Cease To Praise You», 6:50 for «Lord We Thank You», 7:54 for «In Your Presence» and the whole of side four for «Medley Of Truth». Nice country steel guitar action on «My Praise Shall Be Of Thee». Comes in a rather bland blue gate-fold cover made to resemble a notebook. [Ken Scott, The Archivist, 4th edition]
