Record: MINT (was sealed buy I opened it to hear one time and that's all)

Stereo LP, Hand In Hand Music 1000. Nice sounds, my favorite track being "New Jerusalem" which contains yearning vocals, nice backround wah-wah washes of sound and impressive acoustic guitar picking. Worth it just for this song! Here are some more reviews:

First time I heard this Arizona progressive country rock private press resulted in a jawdrop of silence. Not a shabby cut on here, with several stretching out into exceptional. 'Exit-Glory Road' for instance opens the album with a classic artsy progressive hard rock guitar overture. Several middle-ground rural acoustic songs follow bringing to mind the music of Horizon, The Way, and Sons Unto Glory. On the quieter side are a pair of dreamy soft-psych tracks: 'Straight Gate' delicately utilizes flute and reverse guitars for an other-worldly texture, while the equally mesmerizing mostly-acoustic 'New Jerusalem' achieves a similar effect with trippy synths and wah-wah guitar Greg Williams delivers some brilliant acoustic and electric guitar solos throughout. (The Archivist by Ken Scott).

From the Ascending and Descending Blog:   Over the past six or so months, I have raved on about certain Jesus music albums: Jimmy Hotz, Concrete Rubber Band etc. The one album that has really blown me away is "Exit" by Glory Road.
A wonderful mix of progressive rock and acoustic country folk, with vocal harmonies that CSN would be proud of. It also has some nice touches, like backwards guitars, atmospheric synths, and to top it all off, the lead singer, Greg Williams has a fantastic voice.
The lyrics are very Christian, but not in an evangelical, "come and be a Christian" kind of way. They speak of the Christian experience with a sense of beauty and mystery. Conversion is sung of in terms that are dreamlike and warm. It is really a beautiful album. Five of the eight songs are complete stunners however.
I love this album, and would love for it to reach as many people as possible.
