Glad Myrrh 1978
All Things
With tight harmonies and highly melodic jazz-influenced songwriting, Glad emerges as one of Christian music's more interesting poprock groups. Maybe you've never tuned in to this first lp because of the group's 80's/90's image as an acappella band or ccm radio kings, but I hear some real talent here that's unlike a lot of the cheese on the airwaves. Listen close - the musicianship is solidly professional, especially Bob Kauflin's keyboards and John Bolles' lead guitar (which at times shows more rock bite than you might think). Their biggest asset though is the quality of the songsmanship, like Bolles' 11-minute 'Trilogy: Three Voices'. KS
