Free Music Notes for Rebel Poet, Jukebox Balladeer: The Anthology
Free Music Review: Great Anthology - and overlooked gem!!
Hit: 5 Stars
For anyone to have to put together and Anthology it must be a hard task. Even harder to honor an artist after their passing. If it were me, this would have been a Larry Norman box set. And you will never please everyone with your selection of songs.
That being said I purchased two copies of this disc, one for me and one for my son. Not that I needed any of these songs because I already own them all but because I wanted to support Larry and his label even though he has passed on. I just want the reader to know that if you have never heard of Larry Norman it's because of his faith in Jesus and as most of us know, Jesus doesn't sell rock records. However, Larry Norman's music is right up there with the best of them, Dylan, The Beatles, The Stones etc. He came along in the late 60's to ride the wave of a changing format we call Rock-n-Roll. God got a hold of his heart and his music and Larry laid it on the line. His music is honest, to the point and truly what rock-n-roll was all about..pushing the limits. Larry pushed and the church pushed back but Larry didn't back down. Thanks Larry.
This cd is filled with great songs by Larry Norman for those who know his music and first time listeners. I hope that more people buy it who never heard of Larry's music, not to sell Jesus to you, but in hopes that you will enjoy a man and his music as much as I have for so many years. Rock-n-Roll missed this gem of an artist but you still have a chance to check it out. Don't be as snobby as the music business and take a chance, you just might get more than you bargain for.
Rebel Poet, Jukebox Balladeer: The Anthology Poster
To best understand Larry Norman, you should realize that the man is a dichotomy, in the grandest sense of the world. While other rock stars existed to follow the prepackaged template to a tee even if that meant punishing another seemingly innocent hotel room Norman existed on an entirely different plain. He was the church boy holding his own in the decadent world of rock music, an insubordinate jester with a rebellious streak that stretched out long before the birth of punk, and aperformer whose raw energy, spiritual force, and playful wit made him the endearing rock icon he is today. In Norman you have it all. A man unfairly saddled with the hefty burden of the ''father of Christian rock,'' yet he is a singer whose defiant lyrics and actions were shunned by the church-going status quo. Norman is a saint in a world of sinners, and at the same time, to some, he is a sinner amongst the saints. While other rockers spent their lifetimes trying to emulate Norman, they just couldn t catch the man.
