What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Guess this has to still go in pop, christian pop. This is the crooners first album after signing with religious based Word records. Still the great B.J. voice, just in a different setting. He had some hits back in the day, with that Raindrops thingy being the biggest. As of 1977, his 5 minutes were up, and B.J. had moved on to his true calling. Hard to believe this album went platinum, not because it's not good, but because of the religious theme scattered throughout. It is a good album, liking all tracks and loving the title track, which I am putting on my funeral mix. B.J. did end up back on a major label after some time with Word. His output then was geared towards the country crowd, and he never regained his popularity. Shows his last release as a Christmas album in 2007, so I guess the guy's still at it. Only 3 clips available, but I was surprised to find those.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Without A Doubt

Best Track - Home Where I Belong

They say that heavens pretty,
and living here is too.
But if they said that I would have to choose between the two.
I'd go home,
going home,
where I belong.
And sometimes when I'm dreaming,
it comes as no surprise.
That if you look and see the homesick feeling in my eyes.
I'm going home,
going home,
where I belong.
While I'm here I'll serve him gladly,
and sing him all my songs.
I'm here,
but not for long.
And when I'm feeling lonely,
and when I'm feeling blue.
It's such a joy to know that I am only passing through.
I'm headed home,
going home,
where I belong.
And one day I'll be sleeping,
when death knocks on my door.
And I'll awake and find that I'm not homesick anymore.
I'll be home,
going home,
where I belong.
