In Concert

Description

In Concert, sub-titled Psalms & Biblical Themes set to Folk Music, is a live album by the American “Jesuit folk singer” Paul Quinlan, released on American Record Society in 1966. This second album by Paul Quinlan was recorded live at Fairfield University in Connecticut and Seton Hall University in New Jersey.

In Concert features a whole new set of folk psalms using the same informal approach as Glory Bound, this time before a live audience. Also two Genesis-inspired songs, «God Created Man» and «Girl Called Eve», the latter humorously explaining how we got Adam’s apples in our throats. The diversity continues with bluesy spirituals, Spanish moods, minor-key laments and Pete Seeger-ish folk, all with just one voice and one acoustic guitar (and the audience clapping between songs). The performance took place at Fairfield University and Seton Hall University. Quite a versatile artist, a master at manipulating a number of moods through his simple medium.
