The Mission
Face the World
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
The Mission, a really precious group of believers reaching out in the midst of New York City, has finally released some vinyl. It's called Face the World. This group is just flowing with and singing JESUS! The lyrics are straightforward - declaring the glorious attributes of our risen Lord and the plan of salvation. This album covers all the fundamentals of Christianity, the Rock, as it were, - JESUS! I haven't got very much space, so I'll tell you about the best song on the album: "Face the World." It's a smoking blues number. It ain't 80's metal, but this song's got what rock 'n' roll is made of: da blues. Blues are the roots of rock, and we have all the necessary ingredients here: a gutsy guitar and a rowdy harmonica. To get your copy, send $7.77 plus $1 for postage and packing to: The Mission, 33-60 21st Street, Long Island City, NY 11106.
