Wilson McKinley - Spirit Of Elijah (1971, Spokane WA) | Jesus Psych Rock | Full Vinyl Rip

Wilson McKinley - Spirit Of Elijah Released in 1971 on Voice Of Elijah Inc. This is the second album by Wilson McKinley, the Spokane, Washington band who went from being a straight rock outfit to one of the first Jesus Rock groups in the Northwest. Like their later LP Heaven’s Gonna Be A Blast! (👉 https://youtu.be/BvwvdL6ehjE ), this one was privately pressed and not easy to find today in clean condition. The sound is raw and heartfelt. You can hear some garage and psych edges still lingering, mixed with folk-rock and gospel. It is not polished, but that is part of its charm - it feels more like a live testimony than a studio project. Recommended tracks: Tree Of Life - acoustic-driven, with a mix of gentle psych touches and a strong hook. Spirit Of Elijah - the six-minute closer, and the most expansive cut on the record, with fuzz guitar and a jammy feel. For comparison: If you are into groups like Love Song, All Saved Freak Band, Agape, or Larry Norman, this record fits that same early Christian rock vein. Sonically, you can also hear the rootsy mix of The Band, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and even flashes of The Allman Brothers in the longer jams. 🎧 This rip is from my own vinyl copy. 🌀 Full playlist of my vinyl rips: 👉 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9pEOi1yCUyAZikNmWVdz8Hn 📷 More vinyl clips and photos on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vinyl_piper/ Tracklist: 00:00 He 04:09 It's Up To You 07:33 Come On Home 10:20 One In The Spirit 14:17 Tree Of Life 18:08 His Eye Is On The Sparrow 21:13 All My Life 24:48 Crown Of Glory 26:19 I Need A Saviour 29:41 Spirit Of Elijah #WilsonMcKinley #SpiritOfElijah #JesusPsych #ChristianRock #PsychedelicRock #PrivatePress #RareVinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylCollector #AcidArchives #VinylRip #VinylPiper
