Zion Behold The Man (1981)
Rich Mullins first album from his college band. Also includes Jenny Pilson, Tom Weimer, and Beth Snell.\nAll songs by Meadowgreen Music, Inc. 1981 \n\nWhile Rich was attending Cincinnati Bible College in the late 1970's and early 1980's, he became actively involved in an organization called Zion Ministries. Among his activities there, he was formed a band that consisted of him and three other vocalists as well as several instrumentalists. They were very popular among college students, performing throughout the Ohio area for various colleges and churches. The singing quartet performed together throughout the late 1970's and had informally recorded a number of their songs. Through a grant from his uncle, they eventually were able to get some studio time to record an album, and in 1981 released this lp, Behold the Man. As far as I know, it was never distributed through normal channels (unless some local stores in Cincinnati were selling them) and was mainly sold to concert-goers after their shows. It was a copy of this album that ended up in the hands of Amy Grant's manager who took the song "Praise to the Lord" and had her record it for her Age to Age album. It became a very successful song for her, and Rich went on to establish a friendship with her that led to his first recording contract and his debut album that was recorded at her home. \n\nThe album is a group effort, and there is actually only one Rich solo on it. "Heaven in His Eyes" features Rich on vocals and piano, but all of the other selections feature the entire group singing or duets of the two men or two women. Audio clips are available for each song on the album along with the lyrics below. \n\nOf the original members of the group Zion, only Rich decided to pursue a career in music. Beth Lutz is married, lives in Cincinnati, and works as a flight attendant. Tom Weimer is married and has two kids and lives near Dayton. Jenny Wesner is the mother of five and lives in Indianapolis. All of the singers, however, are still involved in the music programs of their local churches. (Thanks to Jenny for that info.)
This folk cd contains 8 tracks and runs 31min 41sec.
