wow, cool vis jacob! i'll look out for those rekkerds you're after.
i'm scared of getting into xian folkrock. i think it might like some of it i a lot.
i'm always meaning to pick up the Lamb records when i see em cheap.

serious question. what are all these people doing now? are they liberals? did they go over to the darker side of evangelicalism?

Begging scott here to make a comp of this stuff!

My ILV mixtape will mainly be xian ruralfolkrock

Giant Killers - Power to Power - organ-heavy new wave with apocalyptic lyrics. reminds me of Fischer-Z in a weird way. their first album (Alternative) is heavier and more Doory and not as good, but just look at the cover art:

that's Giantkiller, not "Giant Killers".

...and the album the clips are from is called Valley of Decision, not Power to Power. I am dumb tonight.

Hey Scott that Tom and Candy Green looks good! It's listed in the Archivist too! They were from Vermont and he says it's the best of their records.

Found these records too, all good in different ways:
Beatnik jazz choir folk

funky choir folk
http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7084/7376483696_405365bcdb.jpg
lonely guy folk
http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7221/7376138162_6445817f46.jpg

I found a bunch more, 2 by Hope Of Glory, The Keyhole, The Way, Bill Atwood, another God Unlimited and the second Way of The Wolf but haven't listened to them. And I met the wife of a guy who runs a music store here in west texas who used to play in a christian folk band in the 70's who has More records that I'm negotiating to look at/buy!!

This has a really nice homemade sound, not lo-fi, just really clear recording, with a few fuzz solos! A side is secular love songs and B side is about Jesus! kind of reminds me of the 90's.

I've never heard that Peter Scholtes album ("They'll Know We Are Christians" is a great song, though), but did you know that his son posts to ilx sometimes? it's interesting how the Rev. Peter Scholtes went from being a priest and Christian songwriter to being a business author and consultant of some note.

it's a shame this was the only solo song she ever recorded. this blog seems to be the only source of info on the album.

("she" = the soloist Gaye Harry. the rest of the album is high school band/choir stuff, judging by the description)

Interesting bit of ILX trivia. That songs was like my pre-teen Christian summer camp anthem.

been digging this track by The Overcomers (late '60s ska-inflected Christian beat group). I didn't know this kind of thing existed!

(FavoriteJesusMusic is a great youtube channel, btw. I wonder if it all comes from one person's record collection...)

I love these two songs from Maria Barton's The Preacher & The Songwriter LP (although I haven't heard anything else from it):

the sermon is extremely grating, though, and I'm pretty sure there's a sermon after every track. her secular singer-songwriter album Rainful Days is a favorite of mine. riyl Marj Snyder, Becky Severson, etc.
