Witness Gospel Band – B3. Halos Of Gold.
Witness Gospel Band - 1978 Together (Nicro, Uk).
I looked at this review and bought it, but honestly , It was far from acid folk music. . It was a folk music that was close to country xian music in my ears. Although they has several genres,
As a family group, it seems that many charities performed in hospitals and churches. The performance itself is not bad because of the long playing experience.
I picked out simple folk ballad song and the sound was monotonous that i liked.
Rarity : ★★★
Value : ★★★
Music: :★★

This record is reviewed on the "Ancient Star Song" website which provides information and reviews into many Christian albums and records of folk and rock from the golden era. Their review can be read below:-
"Charming unknown British male/female folk custom from East Anglia, England. This is the edgier more interesting variety of UK folk, echoing the home-grown style of groups like Aslan, Carpenter’s Apprentice and Sanctus. From guitar/banjo pickers (‘I’m Gonna Write A Song’, John Denver’s ‘Grandma’s Feather Bed’) to upbeat flute-accompanied acoustic janglers (‘Sussex Carol’, ‘Building A Wall’, ‘Are You Walking’) to simple guitar ballads (‘Halos Of Gold’). Dreamy flute, resonating finger cymbals and fragile harmonies bring an entrancing folk/psych mood to “White Dove’, a direct bulls-eye on the sound of those big dollar UK privates. Other instruments include auto-harp, mandolin and bongos. They do a couple songs off fellow countrymen The Advocates first album: ‘Miracle’ and ‘No Man’s Land’, the latter a boogie blues-rocker with entertaining primitive electric rhythm guitar. Includes covers of John Stewart’s ‘Armstrong’ and Peter, Paul & Mary’s ‘Leaving On A Jet Plane’. Also known as The Witness Gospel Band. "
