Selah “Consider These Words” 1975 US Private Psych Xian Folk Christian Rock

This is the Selah with Paul Virgilio from the Way International. He’s also got a solo album on the Almond Tree label where he cuts loose with some fairly blistering tracks. Some of that rugged garage angle carries over here as well, especially on the hard-rocking ‘Romans 10.9’. A couple songs from the Virgilio lp are also covered here: ‘Jesus Christ My Lord And Savior’ receives a slowed-down interpretation, while ‘There’s A Place’ is given more of a dreamy rural twist. Most of Selah’s sound can be summed up as pleasant soulful electric folk-rock and ballads, sometimes with summery string arrangements. Kristina Linder’s occasional lead vocals are a nice touch. Look out for that wild colorful psychedelic cover. (The Archivist, 4th edition by Ken Scott). …

Scarce and very underrated xian rock. Poppy rock with funk moves and some fuzz. Nice harmonies, too. On the Almond Tree label out of Ohio. …
