Description
Rock and Roll for Your Soul is the debut album by the American rock band Gideon’s Army, released on Asaph Records in 1982.
PROMO, Retroactive Records CD Re-issue, 2015
Gideon’s Army was born in 1973, during the early years of CCM. Gideon’s Army sound started out as acoustic, laid back gospel similar to the Maranatha! bands out of L.A. Before long, the band would morph into a full-fledged aggressive Christian rock act. The change was better suited for their outreach which included street ministry (Jews for Jesus, S.O.S. San Francisco), Christian coffee houses, and concert ministry (Great America, Oakland Civic Auditorium, H.P. Pavillian San Jose) among many other ministry opportunities. It wasn’t until 1982 the band recorded and independently released “Rock n’ Roll For Your Soul.” The debut record reflected what was happening in the San Francisco Bay Area music scene at the time – dual lead guitars, horns and an R&B feeling. For Fans of Van Halen, Night Ranger, Petra, and .38 Special. Retroactive Records has remastered this essential AOR album, and it is now available in digital format for the first time ever. Enjoy!
