Description
Start All Over Again is the fourth album by the American west coast pop/rock group The Wall Bros. Band (formerly known as The Wall Brothers), released on Greentree Records in May 1978. The album was recorded by Bob Clark and Gene Eichelburger at Great Circle Sound in Nashville, Tennessee; with Phil Johnson producing. Mixed by Travis Turk. Horn arrangements by Shane Keister. Featuring Al Perkins on pedal steel guitar.
Kraig and Greg Wall, along with Randy Nelson and Lance DeMers, were the line up that recorded this 1978 album. The band had previously recorded a couple of earlier albums and had worked hard to establish themselves on America’s growing Christian music live circuit. ‘Start All Over Again’ sees the band at the peak of their powers adopting a smooth West Coast sound with more than a hint of The Eagles. Songs like «Wind On Summer Nights» and «Clouds Of Glory» have a breezy funky style and the whole album is topped by the band’s close and skilful harmonies. Overall, this is very much of its time and is a great demonstration of ’70s Christian music from the clarity of the message to the crafting of the songs. Highlights for me are the brilliant, catchy «Giving It Up» which was always a favourite and now revisiting the album 30 years later, the ballad «I Am» strikes me as a very inspirational song. Interesting that it was the lyrical skill of drummer DeMers that really set the standard across the album. This is classic Jesus Music that deserves a re-issue.
