Description
Come Together and Other Favourites is a compilation album by the American husband and wife songwriting team Jimmy & Carol Owens, released on Word Records 1992. This release is a part of Word 25th Anniversary Series. The 25 tracks included on the CD were originally features on thre different musicals originally released in the 1970s: tracks 1 to 3 are from Tell The World, tracks 4 to 22 are from Come Together, while tracks 23 to 25 are from If My People.
Another of the timely issues in Word’s ’25th Anniversary’ re-issue programme. ‘Come Together‘ was one of the first musicals to demonstrate to mainstream churches that maybe their young people, agitating for change in their youth groups, really could do something to proclaim Christ using pop music styles without necessarily being threatened by the hounds of hell. The Come Together musical was of course an international success in the 70s, performed in church halls around the world while its predecessor ‘Tell The World’ and its follow up ‘If My People‘ were also popular, tracks of those too are also featured here. Of course what was pretty radical in 1974 seems pretty tame today and the Owen’s, jaunty, often corny melodies won’t impress today’s youth. But ageing youth workers and Christian music nostalgists may want this. [Tony Cummings, Cross Rhythms, October 1992]
