Thanks for sharing brother. Second Chapter of Acts are so anointed and we’re so instrumental in helping me back in my early Jesus days back in the early 70s and to this day. 🎼🕊🎼
Annie has a lovely voice. The vocals seem very natural without any studio fixing to take out flaws that come in a live performance, a testimony to her talent. I am grateful to be reintroduced to these artists who were prominent in my youth. I didn't appreciate them, as much as I do now, how good they were. Thanks Leland.
Leland thanks for visiting 2nd Chapter and Annie today. Brought back a lot of my history. I was working for Sparrow Records when these were released and got to know these groups and their music. I spent close to 20 years in the Christian music business and everytime I hear it the memories are wonderful and I miss it a lot.
thanks so much for revisiting 2nd Chapter and Annie Herring! I learned to play bass by playing along with 2nd Chapter records, so you were actually my bass teacher!
What an amazing voice and I think like l mentioned yesterday of the late great Keith Green. The music back then was so different and meant something and it is special to hear it today and feel it like it was yesterday. Stay safe and don’t overdo it Lee and thankyou again.
ANNIE ON HER OWN WAS SUPERB. WITH THE SIBLINGS, JUST SO AWESOME! LELAND DID YOU TOUR NEW ZEALAND WITH McGUIRE’S TO THE BRIDE WITH BAND CALLED DAVID? WAS 1975 ish. THE LIVE ALBUM FROM THAT IS EXTRAORDINARILY WELL DONE. BUCK HERRING PRODUCED. BEAUTIFUL BASE RUNS IN THIS TOO
More new music for me. Annie Herring has a beautiful voice with a large range and a timbre reminiscent of Kate Bush. The arrangements on the first song are stunning and the Bass Part on the second song is quite intricate at times. Inspiring. 🙏
I’ve been listening to Kate Bush and Annie Herring since the late 70’s. I’ve never noticed the similarities until I listened with your comment in mind. And you are so right! Thanks for pointing that out
@@notremors wow. This is my first listen to any Annie Herring's solo music. You stated exactly what I was thinking. She absolutely is reminiscent of Kate Bush. Her writing, to my ears has touches of prog. Her songs would never be played on Christian radio. God created a very unique and creative individual who writes very unique and creative music.
I first bought Annie's album within a few years of it coming out & thought even back then that it was/would be hugely underrated as far as song writing, performance, production etc. What I like the most is the vulnerability Annie shows in her relationship to the man upstairs - it comes out in her voice & songwriting.Dance with you is actually a stunning song when you realize it's about opening yourself up to feeling joy & spontaneity in your relationship with God. I'm not trying to preach just giving some observations that others might have shared now or sometime in the past.
Love Annie Herring's work and your Revisit of 'Through a Child's Eyes'. . ."I want to know. . ." Such a grand symphony of sound and philosophic lyric! Thank you, Leland. 'Some Days' takes me to those 'Magical Mystery Tour' places. Very nice and so therapeutic in these times, anytime. Thank you 😊
Nice selection today Leland, thank you❣️ Unique voice. Prayers for the Ukrainian people 🇺🇦💪💙💛☮️ Thank you Frontline workers 👏💓 Hoping for safety for people affected by the tornadoes and storms. Stay safe everyone 🤗 and have a wonderful rest of your Wednesday 😉👍✌️☀️🌹
I think Annie had some tragic story of her parents passing away and having to raise her younger siblings. I have huge respect for her. I have bad memories associated with some Gospel music because of some extremist youth group leaders but not Annie's stuff, she has such a strong and pure spirit in her singing and writing.
I didn't realize she had so many big hitting studio musicians on her work. She went to the same church in The Valley as Michael Omartian...but throwing in Leland and the legendary Lee Ritenour is huge!
Thank you Lee for taking us back to the 1970s, the decade of the unforgettabe 2nd Chapter of Acts, Michael Omartian, Keith Green, Barry Mcquire, just to name a few. Thank you so much, you´re great. Have nice weekend.
Really fine arranging and musical craftsmanship. Everything is tight, on time and vocals are a noteworthy plus! Good offerings today!! Excellent! Thanks as always! Going to get shot # 4 tomorrow!
@@lastnamefirst4035 I am 68 years old and so that may have made a difference. Received PFIZER (4th shot) today. I imagine Moderna is available as well? Check with your MD.
Thanks for the music today, Leland. Hope you, Maureen and pups have a good wednesday. Again, thanks for Ukraine mention. Hard to watch the news on it but it's important to know
I checked out the album Roar of Love by 2nd Chapter of Acts and Discogs lists you in the credits. This was one that was really unique because of the connection to the "Chronicles of Narnia"
On occasion. It is stranger to hear something that sounds familiar but not sure why! Then I realize it is something that I played on but never heard completed and so much was added that I was not sure.
1st song: nice and interesting chord progression! (1976 was a sad year for me, because my brother died in a car accident only 19 years old, but it was also the year when I finished grammar school with the final examination which in Austria is called „Matura“.)
In the very early years of the Jesus movement, they were some of pioneers of that music. Her brother Mathew is a very accomplished singer himself. They created some very amazing music!
you have 11 of Annie Herring's 12 solo albums?? I've never encountered anyone else who does. that is quite an accomplishment, not to mention very indicative of the sophistication of your taste in music. bravo.
Thanks for mentioning Lindley. Last I heard he has been sick and that was a couple of yrs ago. Can't find much about him now. Always enjoyed his El Rayo X
@@lastnamefirst4035 I went to his website, classic David attire on the front page. No dates since 2020 which makes sense. Had not heard about his health.
@@barrywaples8150 Evening Barry. Wasn’t sure if that was her first record, or just the first to impact. Must admit, first time I heard it, it sounded like a cat on call☺️ Only seemed like a couple of years later, when I met her, and she signed my The Kick Inside album. She was soo petite, with a very quiet speaking voice.
As weird as it seems to me, since this is pretty obscure music, I think Kate Bush just has to have heard this album. The first and third songs sound way too much like Kate's first two albums for it to be a coincidence, in my opinion. The arrangements and sounds chosen are also pretty close, and there's a piano arpeggio on the first song that sounds like Wuthering Heights! Very strange. I've read a fair amount about Bush, and no one has ever picked up on this similarity.
The tornado hit an area called Arabi. I believe Mr. and Mrs. Shearer live in the French Quarter, a few miles away. My friends in the FQ say they’re fine-no damage in the Vieux Carre
I think Annie’s music was enjoyed by top musicians because of her untrained piano skills. Her time signatures were…baffling! It required a challenge to forge drum patterns and bass lines to many of her pieces. However, the GREAT Michael “Omar” Omartian so well crafted her music style.
Love your bass parts. Her voice hurts my ears. Sorry to be critical but - her voice really hurts my ears. The rest of the tune is pretty good but, good Lord ……. Her voice….. Oy Vey
can't deny that her voice is indeed rather grating, as presented in this video. however, I would attribute that entirely to the fact that Leland is playing those songs through a webcam mic. when presented properly, Annie Herring's voice is anything BUT grating. give this a listen and see if you don't agree: th-cam.com/video/iBWY_EXwD8I/w-d-xo.html

Wow!! What a talent!!! Thank you so much for giving us this music.
Thank you for your time and efforts in giving us #907!
Spinning a bit after that. Could probably dig that after a while. But thanks for showing us such a variety of music.
With great beard comes great responsibility. 🤘🏼
Great insights and appreciate your sensitivity to a wide range of music!
thank you for sharing Annie's music.

Thank you for sharing. Great stories of some wonderful music. Amazing lineup of artist performing with Annie. Cheers.
what a voice she has!!!!
Saw 2nd Chapter of Acts in 1980 with evangelist R.W. Shambach. One of my favorite singers

Thank you for acknowledging Annie's influence in CCM and the 2nd Chapter of Acts.
Beautiful music! Your base makes that second tune..

I’m curious, how often do you recognize songs that you’re on when you’re out and about and you hear music on the radio or in cafés?
On occasion. It is stranger to hear something that sounds familiar but not sure why! Then I realize it is something that I played on but never heard completed and so much was added that I was not sure.
@@lelandsklar6363 So it's common for you, and others,not to hear the completed song before it's released?
@@MrDmorgan52 yes
@@lelandsklar6363 That must be a blast! (I am starstruck that you wrote back. MADE MY DAY!!!)
1st song: nice and interesting chord progression! (1976 was a sad year for me, because my brother died in a car accident only 19 years old, but it was also the year when I finished grammar school with the final examination which in Austria is called „Matura“.)
So sorry for that loss. So tragic but at that age it is really hard.
In the very early years of the Jesus movement, they were some of pioneers of that music. Her brother Mathew is a very accomplished singer himself. They created some very amazing music!
Annie’s music always prompts me to worship the Lord Jesus Christ as she is doing in these performances!
