Originally hailing from Texas, Liberation Suite felt called by God to minister in the UK and pitched up in Belfast to live and minister there at the height of the British Jesus movement. They recorded this album during the last few weeks of 1974 with Premier Radio DJ John Pantry in the producer's chair (I'm not making this up!) and it is very much of its time. The horn section makes them sound like early '70s Chicago at times but the complex music and spiritual themes make the album pure '70s and this really is a classic Jesus Music re-release.. Standouts include the acoustic instrumental "Hearken" and the grooving "More Than A Matter". There's also a pretty cool version of Blind Faith's "Presence Of The Lord" redeeming Eric Clapton's famous drug song and using it for God. It also gives Barry Bynum the chance to shine on guitar. There's a bluesy country rock feel to "Led To Roam" which drives along as the album's opener and a bluesy pop swing that propels "Oh Lord You Know (That I Feel So Fine)" with fine results. This is classic Christian music not to be missed.
