Rock progressivo com uma postura blues e um toque de cristianismo. É isso. Um bom disco de 1972 do Glass Harp.
Glass Harp is known as much for its extended live jams and improvisations as for being the vehicle that gave rise to Contemporary Christian guitarist, singer and icon Phil Keaggy. Keaggy joined the band while still in high school and helped propel it from local to regional status and beyond. At its peak, Glass Harp toured with The Kinks (at Madison Square Garden), Iron Butterfly, Yes, Traffic, Humble Pie, Alice Cooper, Grand Funk Railroad, Ted Nugent and Chicago.
Phil Keaggy left Glass Harp in 1972 just after the release of It Makes Me Glad. The following year, after a brief stint with another influential Christian group Love Song, he recorded his first solo album, What a Day. Since then, Keaggy has released dozens of albums earning popular acclaim for his guitar virtuosity, songwriting and Beatle-esque vocal flavor. He also spent much of the ‘70’s and ‘80’s recording and performing with myriad Contemporary Christian artists while, in effect, helping to build the very healthy CCM genre.Bassist Daniel Pecchio later co-founded the Cleveland rock outfit the Michael Stanley Band. The group enjoyed a ravenous local following and a reputation as a great live band. The pop charts also boasted several AOR/pop singles from the band in the early 1980’s.Drummer John Sferra worked as a solo artist and has sometimes performed as a member of Keaggy’s band.

Excelente album, tenho em vinil. Estão faltando 2 músicas.
While we certainly appreciate the interest, we'd also like to point out that Glass Harp is alive and well, and sell this album (along with all other studio albums and several live albums) at http://www.glassharp.net. With no real ongoing label contract or distribution agreement, selling our music as independent artists really does contribute to our actual livelihood. While we can see some merits to file sharing, we would hope that our true fans might realize/respect the fact that real people lose out sometimes when music is thrown out on the web for the taking.
