No Longer Alone

Description

No Longer Alone is the solo debut album by the American singer and songwriter Terry Talbot of Mason Proffit and the Talbot Brothers fame, released on Sparrow Records in 1976. The album was recorded on 8 tracks by Boris Menart at Fidelity Recording Studios in North Hollywood, California; with Al Perkins and Terry Talbot producing. Mixed by Menart at Eldorado Studios in Hollywood. All songs written by Terry Talbot.

Featuring Terry Talbot on lead vocals, acoustic guitar and harmonica, backed by Keith Green on piano, Gabriel Katona on synthesizer, Al Perkins on lead guitar and pedal steel, David Lindley on fiddle, and a rhythm section consisting of Jim Fielder on bass and Dave Diggs on drums. Backing vocals provided by Talbot, Green, as well as Matthew Ward and Nelly Ward of 2nd Chapter of Acts fame.

While John Michael was sticking mostly to a self-performed guitars-only format, brother Terry was taking the pop-minded country rock route with all the familiar trimmings: electric leads, slide guitar, fiddle, harmonica, piano, organ, female bgvs. Sturdy rock action on «Down To The Well» and the Eagles-ish «Gospel Light», balanced with sensitive ballads («Take A Wife», «Oh Death!», «Behind The Door») and rural finger-picked acoustic rock («The Road»). Some familiar names helping out, including Al Perkins, Keith Green, David Diggs, Matthew Ward and Nelly Ward. Good natural pastoral sound for this solid early Sparrow release.
