BILL POWELL


Welcome To The Kingdom (Reach Out 1001) 1978




Low-tech jazzy keyboard rock from electric-piano guy and two others on bass and drums. Very sparse homemade sound, with the lack of guitars being especially noticeable. Those deficits are made up for by Powell’s energetic performance (including jamming keyboard solos) and the creative tempo/mood changes. You might even say there’s a mild “progressive” angle in here, particularly when a song like ‘Come Unto Me’ stretches out to seven minutes. Funky phasing effects on ‘The Roman Road’. Other cuts: ‘Bumper Sticker Religion’, ‘Promises, Promises’, ‘The Conviction Song’, ‘New Wine’, ‘Revelations’. No regular piano here – it’s all electric. Closes with a brief spoken personal challenge and sinners’ prayer from Bill. Recorded in Orlando, Florida. (The Archivist by Ken Scott, 4th Edition)
