5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Brooker, pure enjoyment, April 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Within Our House (Audio CD)

With all the mass-produced, techno-music in the world, this album is a welcome change. My only regret is that I wasn't there to hear the recording being made live.

Eclectic, charming, warm. The music ranges from purely vocal versions of ancient songs to Procol Harum's rock to a terrific version of Whiter Shade of Pale, played on a church organ!

For anyone who has followed Procol Harum and Brooker over the years, this is a wonderful addition to the collection. It's adult music for adults, produced by a talented, mature musician who takes chances but comes through.

On Sept. 28, 1996, Procol Harum lead singer Gary Brooker organized a charity concert to raise funds for his local church, the St. Mary and All Saints Church, in his hometown of Surrey, England. The resulting live CD of the concert, "Within Our House," is a marvelous recording that's beautiful, uplifting & spiritual, as Brooker blends "church-friendly" arrangements of Harum classics like "A Whiter Shade Of Pale," "Nothing But The Truth," and "A Salty Dog" with Christian/Gospel numbers like "Gospel Train," "Jesus On The Mainline," and "Peace In The Valley." With Gary brilliantly leading on vocals and piano, he's joined by Harum members Dave Bronze on bass and Mark Brzezicki on drums, as well as the Chameleon Arts Choir & String Quartet. From start to finish this is a lovely live recording. Originally limited to 1000 copies, "Within Our House" is now available to all, for which Harum fans all over can be grateful. Thank you, Gary.

I made a compilation disc of christmas music as gifts for some friends at work. I mixed in a couple of songs form "Within Our House". Everyone asked me who performed these songs. It was my pleasure to tell them it was Gary Brooker from Procol Harum. I hope that they explore more of Procol Harum.
