Description
The Harvest is Ripe is the sole album by the American rock band Sons unto Glory, independently released by the band in 1976, manufactured by Dharma Productions. The album was recorded and mixed by Travis Turk at Creative Workshop in Nashville, Tennessee.
Featuring John Eubanks on keyboards, Phil Nodine harmonica, Bill Bently on guitar, Kent Redd on bass, and Scott Phillips on percussion.
Six longhaired Aiken, South Carolina boys land a first-class winner on this custom Jesus rocker. Sort of progressive in a ‘70s FM rock sense, combining influences of Southern rock, country rock, hard rock and jazz rock. Lots of good electric guitar soloing opportunities coupled with a robust organ presence. The sound and production are decent as well, without being overly clean. Strong evangelistic thrust as titles like «Preach The Gospel», «You Must Be Born Again», «What The Lord Will Do For You» and «Let Him Cleanse You» indicate. Some pleasant acoustic ballads that remind me of groups like The Way. Closes with the lengthy «Resurrection Power», a mostly instrumental melodic jazz-fusion piece with skillful trading of guitar and keyboard solos. Around 1000 made. [Ken Scott, The Archivist, 4th Edition]
