Broken Pieces (Sold Out SO-002) 1980
With their warm-hearted jangly country folk and folk-rock sound, Sold Out To Jesus brings to mind the best moments of bands like Phoenix Sonshine, Dove, Dogwood and Suncast. Primarily an acoustic guitar setting plus electric guitar, bass and drums, filled in here and there with background synthesizer. Songs like the title track and ‘He’s There’ jangle along at a brisk bass-propelled pace with relaxed male/female harmonies hovering over the music, capturing the essence of the familiar ‘70s rural Jesus music style. Nice electric guitar presence on ‘The Sun’s Coming Up’, ‘Heed The Call’ and ‘Rest Stop Johnny’. Features ten original songs, some of which would blend in perfectly on The RFD’s Lead Me Home. Look closely at the cover – the cracks in the vase spell out the group’s name. Custom album recorded in North Carolina. (The Archivist, 4th Edition by Ken Scott).

Thank you very much for this very good item, i will treasure it very high.
Today I had another listen to this album and I realised how good this really is. A great Jesus music album. Thank you very much.

Wolfgang,
Yes some take a couple listens to really get into the music and songs.
Your welcome
I’m amazed to find this here, since it was only a local album, and few copies were made. These guys are from Yancey county, NC where I grew up. A good friend of mine sang bgv’s on some songs. They recorded two albums. The first, self titled was great, but this was the best. Beautiful stuff from some great folks.
Where can I get their music. I had a copy in a long time ago. Let someone borrow it never got it back. I loved it.
Does anyone know if they still live in Yancey County?
