ROAMIN’ COLLARS, THE
Until He Comes (World Library FR 2397-SM) 1971? With a sound very close to Jack Miffleton and The Group, The Roamin’ Collars (seven Paulist brothers joined by a lovely female vocalist) jockey between joyful vigorous folk and plaintive … Continue reading

JACK MIFFLETON
From Earthenware Jars (World Library FR-7504) 1975 Five years go by and the Miffletonian gang has left the folk and rock scene for easy listening and light pop-rock pastures. Skipp’s vocals seem deeper, smoother, Jim Nabors-er. Songwriting is still good … Continue reading

HIS PEOPLE
Thoughts Of Time (World Library FR-2104-SM) 1971? The back cover describes the style of this 3-guy 3-gal outfit as “folk type ballad and contemporary rhythm”. I call it a hauntingly beautiful collection of moody acoustic melodies alongside some fun electric-with-a-beat … Continue reading

WILLARD F. JABUSCH
Songs For the Feast (World Library-7772) 1978 Somehow this has missed the inclusion in Ken Scotts listing of other Jabusch recordings . On this particular recording Willard uses mostly melodies centuries old and interprets them for us using his … Continue reading

ANGEL TUCCIARONE
If We Saw Him (World Library FR-7523) 1975 As this label and Catholic music in general started moving away from simple folk music, some albums began putting more pop instrumentation into the mix. Folksinger, composer and guitarist Angel Tucciarone started … Continue reading

JAMES V. MARCHIONDA
Covenant (World Library 7786) 1979 I first heard this Catholic songwriter on the lovely male/female folk custom Sonday (see entry). Although the group Sonday is still involved on this bigger budget recording, the addition of strings, horns, keyboards, electric guitar … Continue reading

TOM PARKER
Let All The Earth Sing His Praise (World Library WLSM-29-SM) 1969? The strange cover illustration of peace signs, a priest, a flower child, an elephant, onion domes, a pagoda, a happy sun, etc. would seem to imply a fairly hip … Continue reading

JACK MIFFLETON
Drylands (World Library FR-7711) 1978 Just when I thought they couldn’t get any smoother. Twelve more of Miffleton’s songs featuring Skipp Sanders’ rich croon, enriched by a buttload of strings and horns. From easy listening to praise/worship to loungy pop … Continue reading

There’s A New Wind Blowin’ (World Library FR-1930-SM) 1970? Presbyterian choir director who in the late ‘60s began to sense stagnation in the mainline church music scene. Seeing the appeal of the folk style, he began writing, playing, and singing … Continue reading
