The Choir “Away With The Swine” Free Flying Soul (1996 Tattoo Records)
The Choir broke convention with Diamonds and Rain in the 80’s; which paved the way for them to set the tone for alternative music for the next decade. Free Flying Soul was a release that took time for me to connect with, in a way I am still. Like many of Choir’s offerings you almost have to take the albums as a whole, a listening experience, not a collection of songs without relation to each other. The music on this album, is received as pure, simple, authentic, and organic. Terms Which don’t describe 90’s rock as much as folk. Yet this is distinctly a rock album.
If you are interested in art, and the history of Christian music, Free Flying Soul might be a top consideration for your iPod’s play list.
