Description
Brother of the Son is the debut album by the American singer and songwriter Don Francisco, released on NewPax Records in 1976, distributed by The Benson Company. The album was recorded at Sound Stage Studios in Nashville and at Bradley’s Barn in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee; with Bob MacKenzie and Gary S. Paxton producing.
Popular CCM singer/songwriter, perhaps best known for bringing Bible stories to life via dramatic songs, like «He’s Alive» and «Adam, Where Are You?» (from Forgiven) and «Got To Tell Somebody» and «Too Small A Price» (from Got To Tell Somebody). Francisco’s debut Brother Of The Son aims for the rural folk-singer and country-rock vibe, Nashville-ized to a degree, but still sufficiently down home. Forgiven and Got To Tell Somebody are smoother and more CCM-ish due the strings, ballads and bigger arrangements, but both still retain a few hands-off countrified moods, especially when the fiddle and steel guitar get in there. Numerous other albums followed in the ‘80s. [Ken Scott, The Archivist, 4th edition]
