Description
Gone Fishing is an album by the American rock band Redemption, released on Triumphonic Recordings in 1975 (??). The rhythm tracks were engineered by Major Damon Rader at The Salvation Army Centennial Memorial Temple in New York City, with Charlie Baker and Mark Freeh producing. All other engineering and mixing by Haydn Harris and Mark Freeh at Sweet Sixteen Sound in New York City. Directed by Charlie Baker.
Featuring Jude Hulteen on lead vocals, Len Ballantine on piano, organ, mellotron, and vocals, Gordon Kirby on guitars, tambourine, and vocals, Bob Frazier on bass, and Arnie Hulteen om drums (as well as lead vocals on track B3). Brass provided by Phil Smith (first trumpet and flugelhorn), Mike Orfitelli (second trumpet and alto horn), and Charlie Baker (trombone and vocals).
First trumpet, flugelhorn, second trumpet, alto horn, trombone – looks like we’ve got another horn rock band here. Although they don’t measure up to the standards of Liberation Suite (the yardstick for all Christian horn rock bands), this eight-member Salvation Army outfit sull makes out better than most. Coolest track is «Jesus Knows» with groovin’ organ, scratchy wah-wah guitar and deep fuzz bass. More funky wah-wah action on the upbeat «Freedom In Jesus» which has a-quirky stop/start beat. Jazzy swinging covers of the hymns «Leanin’» (i.c., «Leaning On The Everlasting Arms») and «What A Friend». Mellotron in a couple spots. Female lead vocals most of the time. Plenty of average so-so songs, but enough goodies to make it interesting. [Ken Scott, The Archivist]
