Black Oak Arkansas -Keep the faith

Keep the Faith
Keep The Faith is an Excellent album yet its mostly unknown. BOA merges Sex, Religion and Rock N Roll on this one and they do it well. With Jim Dandy's unique vocals and 4 excellent musicians BOA was on of the 70s best rock bands. I love every song on Keep The Faith, the lyrics are BOAs best and the music is outstanding. Keep The Faith is a nice catchy pop/rock song with a spiritual flavor. Fever In My Mind is one of the fastest sang songs in rock n roll history and a very good song. The Big One Is Still Coming hits close to home for me, I was born and raised in Southern California. White Headed Women and Short Life Line are two fine Love (sexual) songs. Don't Confuse what You Don't Know, We Live On Day To Day (an Excellent song), Feet On Earth- Head in Sky are all songs bordering on the spiritual and/or religious. Every song on Keep the faith is very good to excellent. If you gonna get one BOA album (CD) get this one if your gonna get two get this one and Raunch N Roll Live. This record is a good follow up to their first self titled album. Two songs are extreemly good "Fever in My Mind" and "Short Life Line". The other songs are good as well, but these two are outstanding! However BOA do not manage to make songs as good and catchy as Hot and Nasty on their first album. But who cares? "Keep the Faith" is sadly starting to be difficult to find. I bought mine 2nd handed through Amazon UK. Definitively worth it! However the cover is slightly different from the one pictured here (without the yellow border). My favourite BOA album are "Ain't Life Grand" and is probably easier to find.
