Pat Terry - Humanity Gangsters (1982)

Pat Terry's first solo effort after the Pat Terry Group's last album. This is my personal favorite of his solo ventures. The songs are still classic Pat Terry Group type stuff, but some of the songs have a slightly harder edge. I also like Bill Batstone on Bass, and of course, Mark Heard, who is doing a little of this and that as well being the producer and engineer. I transfered this from cassette tape years ago and just burned the mp3 files from that CD.

Tom Howard & Bill Batstone - One on One (1985)

This is Tom Howard's third recording and it is much more contemplative and laid back with some very nice songs. My favorites are "When the Curtain Fall," "Storm Moving on" and "Show Me the Shepherd." One by One can be seen as a foreshadowing of Howard's New Age instrumental sound that later became his trademark. As an added bonus Mark Heard was the engineer and mixer for the recording.

I digitized this recording from my own vinyl copy a few years ago.

 

Tracks:

1. When the Curtain Falls
2. Storm Moving On
3. Night and Day
4. Think on These Things
5. Heart of a Fool (Psalm 14)
6. Your Constant Love
7. He Took the Form of Man
8. The Best Thing
9. Show Me the Shepherd
10. And He Heard Them Sing
