Shekinah "Todays The Day" 1979
Five guys from Estacada, Oregon playing decent middle-ground rock with a twinge of rural sentiment. Electric guitar leads here and there, plus a good deal of phased rhythm guitar. Soaring country rock mood to the 6:34 ‘Brother John’. Electric bass highlighted on a couple atypical tracks: keeping the funk on ‘The Reign’, droning along with sax, strange synth sounds and a thick percussive disco beat on ‘Take It To Your Heart’. A few ballads featuring acoustic guitar and Arp-sounding keyboards. All originals, seven written by guitarist Rocky Hash, one by bassist Roddy Hash. A couple longhaired ones in the bunch.
