Description
Jesus Power is a multi-artist compilation released on Creative Sound in 1973.
The thing I usually find most interesting about samplers like this are the cuts unavailable anywhere else. The stand-out here would have to be Eden’s «Shady Day», a great R&R tune with a hip guitar solo that leaves you wishing they’d left us more. Also appearing are Majority Of One (horn pop), Voices Of Jerusalem (black gospel), and the Horlock Brothers with a beautiful folk tune. The rest is all album cuts by Kentucky Faith, Armageddon Experience, Sound Foundation, Wedgwood, Agape, New Folk, Forerunners, Gamble Folk, Great Commission Company, Arthur Blessit, and Spectrums. Gate-fold sleeve has photos of all the groups’ album covers. [Ken Scott, The Archivist, 4th Edition]
