The Time Has Not Come True

Description

The Time Has Not Come True is an album by the American singer and songwriter Ray Repp, released on F.E.L. in 1969.

The Time Has Not Come True changed direction again and revealed a softer folk and pop mixture. It’s by far his most listenable FEL album, finally free of the primitive sound that characterized his initial releases. The lyrical focus had changed as well, opting for a more ecumenical brotherhood kind of message. Songs like «Until Tomorrow», «Let’s Pretend That We’re Young Again» and «Hope It’s Not Too Late» have gently flowing melodies built around acoustic guitars, flute and rhythm section. A few titles like «I Can See It From My Window», «Gonna Build Us A Land» and lightly jazzed «It’s Not For Sale» add electric guitar and a mellow rock beat. Also contains his first excursion into banjo/kazoo flapper sounds («Apple Pie») where he sings about “GTO’s and Cheerios”. Foldout cover. [Ken Scott, The Archivist, 4th edition].
