Notes


A hard rocking Christian band, which included drummer McCracken who had earlier played with The Evergreen Blueshoes and who later ended up with The Doobie Brothers. The band were from California.

Second Coming is an album for heavy rock fans. The outstanding track is Do You Understand The Words? for its superb psychedelic guitar work and McCracken's heavy rock drumming. The remainder of the album, which contains all original compositions, is not up to that standard but contains some quite good heavy rock numbers, particularly, All Day, Good Time Music and Hold On Child on Side One. Surprisingly, they did not attain much commercial success, and both their albums are now minor collectors' items.
