DELVIN FORD

He Rules The World (F-Empire GRS-1111) 1969




Whereas many Christian folk records from this date were strumming through standards like ‘Very Last Day’, ‘Well Well Well’ and ‘Sinner Man’, Delvin Ford’s custom lp is one of the few releases to explore an acoustic singer/songwriter style. There are some similarities to the playful ‘60s method of Paul Simon, as well as a look forward to the ‘70s style of artists like Ron Moore and Mark Heard. With just acoustic guitar and occasional harmonica, Ford herein performs twelve of his own songs. Four of these selections (‘Rhetorical Question’, ‘Keep The Faith’, ‘Do You Know How It Feels?’ and ‘Awake Sleeping Giant’) would be re-recorded for his subsequent Light lp Anti-Blues. Nice natural unplugged atmosphere. (The Archivist by Ken Scott, 4th Edition)
