The Time For Peace Is Now compiles fourteen songs that, while recorded over four decades ago, speak now more than ever. The tracks are a subset of 1970s-era gospel, not directly talking about Jesus or God, but instead tackling how we live with ourselves and each other. These are undeniably soulful, passionate, and urgent songs from obscure 45s, dug up from a long dormancy in attics, sheds and rated across the American south. Compiled by Gospel guru Greg Belson. \u201cThe Gospel bands heard on The Time For Peace Is Now were comprised of musicians who played both church and secular music. The church borrowed\u2014or rather commandeered\u2014the guitar, bass, drums, and other instruments used to backup Motown, Stax, and other popular labels\u2014to give power to the songs they supported. Musicians who sang at \u2018the club\u2019 on Saturday night were often leading solos or singing in the choir on Sunday mornings. Saturday night and Sunday morning music began to interweave, which was especially felt when the church choirs sang Gospel. It was Gospel\u2019s influence that made Aretha Franklin, Sam Cooke, and many others the voice of the 1960s and 1970s. Gospel was the soul of America. This album is reflective of the dichotomy of the sacred and the secular. The music here is in some sense the same as the music of the club. \u201cKeep Your Faith To The Sky\u201d could have you singing \u201cKeep Your Head To The Sky\u201d by Earth, Wind and Fire. Listening to \u201cIt\u2019s Hard To Live In This Old World\u201d and \u201cThat\u2019s A Sign Of The Times\u201d imbues the pessimistic\/realistic sense of what was happening. Like many Blues songs, the problem must first be named before it can be solved. At the end of The Time For Peace Is Now, hope is still present. The problem is named in the beginning and a possible solution is presented. -Pastor Keith L. Whitney<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
