CHILDREN OF THE DAY - WHERE ELSE WOULD I GO (Legacy Ed) (CD, 2012, Born Twice) Jesus Music

The 1975 Maranatha! Music classic Where Else Would I Go is another triumph despite the fact that their former folk edge is all but gone and the music is moving toward mellow often-orchestrated MOR. And for once I mean MOR in the good sense, recalling the best of The Carpenters (I know The Carpenters aren’t exactly critics’ darlings but these tunes reach out to me). Gentle sighing harmonies, soft piano and electric piano, mellow strings, maybe a touch of brass. Plenty of ballads to go around, including ‘Silver Packages,’ ‘Can You Feel Him?’, ‘Goodbye’ and the solemn ‘Tried In The Fire.’ ‘Wind Blowing Softly’ gets a saxophone lead for its pop/MOR theme. My personal favorite here is ‘The Holy Spirit Song’, one of their most uplifting performances. The closing title ballad recalls The 2nd Chapter Of Acts. The Archivist, 4th Edition by Ken Scott This Born Twice Records reissue features the album digitally remastered and on CD for the first time ever, packaged in a four panel, full color digipak.

For fans of 2nd Chapter of Acts, Love Song, Mustard Seed Faith, and The Carpenters.
