Godspell
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
The folks at Gotee decided to go really retro and re-release the Original Cast Recording of this Broadway Musical. It really brings back memories of the Jesus movement and the sounds of 60's guitar. The lead off track, "Prepare Ye The Way," is a cool worship tune, as is "Day by Day," but the rest of the album could just as well be a memory I'd let fade. The sonics and sounds on this album just don't get these feet a tappin' (at all). Some really great bands were making some killer sounds in this era (Hendrix, Zeppelin, Beatles, Deep Purple, Sabbath), but this was just a time when television soundtracks and Christian music was a good seven years behind the times.
