Shocked Shotgun Angel "mostly Christian lyrics" Reply to this Post Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Posts Report Post to a Moderator       Go to the top of this page
Here is a great album from 1977. Shotgun Angel was the second album by Daniel Amos (the band, not the person). The style ranges from country rock to light rock with mostly Christian lyrics. This is a fun album as is their first, "'Aint Gonna Fight It" which is available again in a special 30th Anniversary Edition.

I don't know.

I guessed Mike Roe figured out what "vitamins" really were! Tongue

It wouldn't have been the first time they had to change lyrics for the record.

On the first DA record they changed a couple lyrics.
It seems from the interview Terry gives on the 2nd disc,
they were changed on the advice of Al Perkins the producer.
So I don't really know if the "had" too change those lyrics.

It probably just wouldn't of sold at the time had they not. They originally wrote a lot of the songs with street people in mind, but when the album was made they had to sell it in Bible Book Stores to a pretty tame audience. I mean think of it this way, had they not changed the lyrics, and those stores hadn't carried the album and it tanked.. the band might of fell apart like some of the other bands of the time. There were quite a few with one or two albums for their entire career.

I'm sure it would have not been carried in the stores.
I am sure a lot of bookstores would not want to carry it now.

Steve Taylor had problems with "I Predict 1990" as did Scaterd Few with their "Sin Disease" record, so this is nothing new.

I really don't know what is worse, the hyper-vigilance of the past or the bland shallowness of the present. Either way, it cannot be fun travails for an "artist" in this "product" medium.

No. It's pretty rough, and always has been for a real "artist."

Since I have been kind of getting into Jason Martin's stuff again...
I wonder how many records a band like Starflyer 59 sells? Confused

Well, I tend to get them eventually (although I still don't have Singing Voice vs. Talking Voice), but SF59 is so vague at times and moody at other times that I imagine they tag their fans at least...

Yeah I pretty much get everything too. Pleased

Of course I get pretty much everything of a lot of bands that don't sell many records! Shocked
