Editorial Reviews

This album was created for release in other countries where Larry has only ever released a few titles through the stores. There is nothing new on this CD. But it is much more succinct than any of the Essential albums, if brevity is your standard. It has an unseen photograph on the cover and a chronological order to the songs, in case you have always wondered which songs were written before others. 1.The Man From Galilee 2. Walking Backwards 3. Pardon Me 4. Riding High 5. Looking For The Footprints 6. Soul On Fire 7. Sitting In My Kitchen 8. Song Of Salvation 9. I Wish We'd All Been Ready 10. I Am A Servant 11. Sigrid Jane 12. The Outlaw 13. Why Don't You Look Into Jesus 14. Christmastime 15. Lonely By Myself 16. Peacepollutionrevolution 17. Righteous Rocker - slow version 18. U.F.O. 19. I've Searched All Around The World 20. Why Should The Devil Have All The Good Music 21. I'm The Six O'clock News 22. The Great American Novel

This is an awesome CD. Volume 2 is as well.

This is some feel good, old school, rock n roll for Jesus.

Rock the Flock!

Highly recommended.

What can you say about Larry Norman? This guy was one of the tiny handful that dared stray from stodgy hymns and traditional gospel to bring the Christian message to the rock & roll world.
This two-CD set is a treasure trove of Larry's music, showcasing his amazing lyrical talent, his vocal range (one of the few guys that can pull of singing falsetto and still sound great), his huge heart for reaching the unsaved, his sense of humor and the formidable talents of the other musicians in his band.
Some of the songs will sound dated by "today's standards" due to production style and arrangements, but the the message in the music is as powerful as ever. If you (like me) had an album or three on vinyl of Larry's and have been frustrated by the lack of CDs available, this collection will become a cherished possession.
After Larry's untimely passing this year, it seems all the more appropriate to re-listen to these seminal "Jesus Music" songs, and share them with someone who is too young to remember them from the first time around. If it weren't for Larry, there may not be a Newsboys, DC Talk, Kutless, Casting Crowns, Chris Tomlin, Third Day or Matt Redman... you just never know!
