The Sensational Alex Harvey Band - The Gospel According To Harvey
Review by Loksudan baidya
The Gospel According to Harvey, the 1973 album by the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, is a remarkable work that blends rock, blues, and gospel elements to create a unique musical experience. The album is a concept piece that tells the story of a preacher named Harvey, who travels across America spreading his message of love and redemption.
The album opens with the powerful "Faith Healer," a song that showcases Harvey's incredible vocals and the band's tight musicianship. The track builds to an explosive climax, with Harvey's voice soaring above the driving rhythm section. This sets the tone for the rest of the album, which is filled with dynamic performances and memorable melodies.
Other standout tracks include "The Tomahawk Kid," a rollicking blues number that features some impressive guitar work, and "Give My Compliments to the Chef," a funky, horn-driven tune that showcases the band's versatility. The album's centerpiece, "The Gospel," is a sprawling epic that features a choir and a spoken-word section that adds to the album's overall sense of drama and spectacle.
