Description
In the Morning is an album by the American folk-rock band Hosanna, independently released on Diversified Media in 1974. The album was recorded by Gary Pigeon at Assembly Recording Studio with band member John Erickson producing.
Hosanna features John Erickson on lead vocals and percussion; Dale Anderson on guitar and vocals; Jim Seiler on guitar, piano, and vocals; Joe Seiler on bass and vocals; and Douglas DeGradd on drums and vocals.
Magnificent rural rock gem, a super scarce custom production from six Wisconsin fellas. A good number of the tracks are moody pastoral acoustic ballads, gentle sincere heartfelt vocals adrift in fragile stirring melodies. A touch of Allman Brothers on the spirited country-rockin’ «Put Your Trust». In the more psych-edged direction are the dreamy mysterious «Friend» and the heavier fuzz-blasting «What Lasts», either of which would be right at home on the Rainbow Promise LP. Noteworthy lead guitar work throughout, both electric and acoustic. Not an especially loud album (except for the one aforementioned cut), but most definitely has that sought-after “edge” that characterizes the better rural-rock privates. Sharp cover art, a painting of a lake and snow-covered mountain. [Ken Scott, The Archivist, 4th edition]
