The “brothers” here are Rick Riso and Tony Sbrana, joined by folk singer Marj Snyder who contributed several fine solo albums in the ‘70s. This project is rockier than those efforts, though the styles here are quite varied. Side one is a “rock musical” about Old Testament characters. Their stories are told in “hip” language with a heavy dose of humor. Noah hopes his wife remembered seasick pills, Jonah sets out to have a “whale” of a time, and the serpent suggests to Eve that she needs some meat on her bones. Even includes a risqué ‘Shaving Cream’-ism (you know, where they almost say the rhyming naughty word). Styles include folk, acoustic, rock, blues (Job’s song of course), and jazz. Vocals are well-harmonized, kinda lazy, kicked back, cool. Colorful gatefold cover. (Ken Scott - Archivist)
