Trees Community-The Christ Tree Live

First, the obligatory disclaimer and/or warning: this is another one of those “I love God,” weirdo, psych collectives. Believe me, it scares me too. But then I listen to this and I can just ignore all of that stuff. I’ve posted things like this in the past, so it seem s like many of you are able to do that as well. Or maybe you’re just obsessed with Jesus. And that’s fine by me so long as you don’t ask me to join your church (do not fucking e-mail about this please). .This was originally included on a real nice box set I picked up a few years ago. That must be long gone but I think their sole album is still available, so you might want to pick that up if you’re in more need of exotic, higher key, Jesus praising, cult, psych insanity. Look at the picture and you'll know what this sounds like.

The 4th Movement

Okay, time for confession (I did go to a Catholic school in my youth), I have a weird fascination with religious psych records. It's kinda funny since I have absolutely zero belief in anything other than my brilliance (thank Catholic school for that too). And after searching through the crap mountain that is Christian rock, I've found what has to be one of the best heavy, fuzzed out x-tian titans. This guitar is just all over the place (in all the right ways). I just normally laugh at the lyrics, but really, they're about as silly as all the songs I love about Satan. But the vocals are actually pretty awesome. Really cool deliveries and soulfull too (by that I mean Black, you white devil). I thought this had to be from the early 70s but my psych-sense must be way off since I've read that this was the work of a trio of brothers (actual brothers, racist) recorded in 1980. If all Jesus rock was this good, I think I might have to convert (kidding).
