ARTIST: LEAF RIVER TITLE: SONSHINE YEAR: 1971 LABEL: ARROW RECORDS, ARROW 2002, PRIVATE PRESS VINYL VG+ HOLLYWOOD XIAN RURAL PSYCH REVIEW FROM THE MUSIC SNATCHER WEB SIGHT
Obscure California band’s first-rate venture into the early Jesus music country-rock sound, soon to be popularized by groups like The Way and Love Song. Good natural outdoor feel, usually with just acoustic/electric guitars, bass and drums, plus samplings of banjo and steel guitar. No keyboards, strings, brass, etc. ‘Tell Me More’ cranks things up pretty good, though for the most part this is not a loud album. Nice subtle rural/psych edge ala Rainbow Promise on ‘Jesus Of Nazareth’. Other original titles include ‘He’s The Way’, ‘Don’t Let The Devil Get You Down’, ‘The Beast’ and ‘Shoulder To Cry On/Goodbye, Goodbye’. Also faithful covers of the Flying Burrito Brothers’ ‘Sin City’ (on which they sound like the Flying Burrito Brothers, not surprisingly) and Larry Norman’s ‘I Wish We’d All Been Ready’. One of the members is Jon Linn (bass, lead guitar), later to become a prominent session guitarist on many Larry Norman and Solid Rock records. Simple black-on-yellow cover with primitive hand-drawn art and graphics – definitely has that local look. Reported to be a 300 press item.
