Description
Clean is an album by the American folk-rock band Kinfolk, released on CSS (Central Sound Studios) in 1974. The album was recorded by Len Walls at Central Sound Studios in Auburndale, Florida.
Kinfolk is Martha Trice and Fred Emery on vocals, Robbie Trice on acoustic and electric guitars as well as vocals, Craig Seay on piano, organ, guitar, and vocals, Rodney Lancaster on bass (as well as fiddle), and David Brown on drums and percussion. (The album as well features Danny Jones on steel guitar and Kenny Wallis on strings.)
While maintaining a solid acoustic base, Clean softened the harmonies a tad and added some new instruments to the mix, including electric piano and synthesized strings. The end result is a much smoother sound than the debut, with a couple songs inching toward MOR. Still a strong record overall with some decent folk-rock grooves aka The Bridge. The organ adds extra zing to the electric title track and a remake of «Alpha And Omega», while the string synth washes a dreamy mellotron-like presence over «Walking In His Likeness», «Some Think It’s Foolishness» and the Pat Terry Group-ish «Wait On The Lord». Steel guitar and fiddle bring a country edge to «Bank Of Heaven» and «On That Day». Also includes covers of «He Looked Beyond My Fault» and Jamie Owens’ «May I Introduce You To A Friend». The cartoon cover of a freshly river-baptized beaming Jesus freak is rather adorable. [Ken Scott, The Archivist, 4th edition]
