Limpic & Rayburn

Description

The self-titled debut album by the American pop duo Limpic & Rayburn (Gerry Limpic and Mark Rayburn – on this album also credited to bassist Dave Pollard) was self-released in the spring of 1976. Re-issued on Word’s Myrrh Records lated the same year. The album was recorded and mixed January 16 to February 8, 1976 by Ron Compton at Fanfare Studios in El Cajon, California; with Compton, Gerry Limpic and Mark Rayburn producing. All songs written by Gerry Limpic and Mark Rayburn.

Also known as Gerry Limpic & Mark Rayburn With Dave Pollard. This sharply produced custom LP was later picked up by Myrrh (MSA-6575), a perfect fit for the label’s softening mid-’70s stance. Limpic & Rayburn’s music is a catchy blend of wholesome folky pop/light-rock and acoustic ballads, with similarities to both Gospel Seed and the Pat Terry Group. The duo typically both play acoustic guitar, trading turns on electric guitar and keyboards. Pollard supplies the bass role while others fill in on drums, percussion and additional keyboards. Features eleven of their songs, including «Sunshine In My Soul», «Come To The River», «Freedom And Peace», «Second Childhood» and «Door In My Life». Gorgeous string arrangements on the stirring «Empty Words». The original Fanfare press from California has a different and much nicer cover photo. [Ken Scott, The Archivist, 4th edition]
