This album was one of the first Christian rock records. The category should be changed as it misleads people looking to discover rock albums like this. You can find a digitally re-mastered copy of their album for sale at Facebook (dot com)/thechristianbadfinger

Once called the first “New Wave” band in Christian music, the album is full of catchy licks, Beatle-style harmonies, jangling guitars and crunching tube amps. Sadly overlooked but talented group of musicians. “Standing At The Door” was a favourite worship song in our youth group in 1979.
Guitar whiz Al Perkins has had so many other great moments playing with the who’s-who of popular music – from the Rolling Stones, Eagles, Flying Burrito Bros, Emmylou Harris, Bob Dylan… - that his input here might not seem to matter. It does matter, though, and this work stands as a well done piece of art.

The album Angels Come wasnt country..
It is more of an english pop sound, I have the album, I think it was the only one Ark did.. Its unique in its sound and the lyrics

The opinions expressed in the Reader Comments are not necessarily those held by Cross Rhythms.
I Like the comment about this being the Christian Badfinger. It is not country, per se, although that was Perkins' main forte. It was also not New Wave, but more of a late British Invasion. Released in 1979, it was the last year of the opening decade of Jesus Music. I know very little about the band themselves. In the picture, they all look older. A one off project from AP and some great session musicians? Unknown, but it has become and remains a staple until He returns.
