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.

Children of the Day - Never Felt so Free (1977)

This is the 5th and next to last recordings by Children of the Day. Stylistically they go all over the place, sounding at times a little like 2nd Chapter of Acts or a little like Love Song and they even sound a bit like Chicago on a couple of tunes. All original material in a soft rock vein, most of the songs written by Peter Jacobs, with a couple by Wendy Fremin or Marsha Stevens. Several of the backup musicians will be familiar to long-time Jesus music fans (see the credits below.)

• Vocals: Peter Jacobs, Wendy Fremin, Marsha Stevens, Russ Stevens
