High Country 1978 Album: Last Train To Glory - A1 Sailing Toward Home

Mellow easygoing country rock from the U.K. threesome Alistair Skene, Ronnie Magee and CArl Sands. All three had previously been involved with the Pilgrim album 'Down By The River' under the name Ronnie & Carl. Male three-part harmony blends with steel and electric guitar for covers of 'Sailing Toward Home', 'Don't Give Up When You're Down', 'The Baptism Of Jesse Taylor', 'Where The Soul Never Dies' and 'Time'. Also a few original songs, including 'Reaching Down', 'Going Home To Jesus', and 'I've Tried It All Before'. Smooth and uncomplicated, no strings or horns. Mild gospel impressions on a couple songs, the vocals being the main culprit. Assistance from Mo Witham (guitars, dobro), Meet Jesus Music's Keith Routledge (keyboards) and Sue McClellan (producer)
