Album Of The Day: Rick Elias & The Confessions by Rick Elias & The Confessions

Album Art of Rick Elias And The Confessions's self-titled album - A mostly desaturated photo of a man standing next to a busy city street, shown from the waist up in a leather jacked and with long, dark curly bangs and long hair in the back. Behind him, we can see the blur of a car moving past. In the top right, printed on top of the photo's sky portion is a black rectangle with a dark blue, slighly-purple hairline inside the square. The artist name 'Rick Elias' is printed in the majority of the same blue, and 'And The Confessions' is in much smaller, aqua blue print at the bottom of the rectangle.

I believe this album was released this month 35 years ago. Rick Elias & The Confessions is a really good rock album I only recently started listening to. I had known of Rick Elias as a member of Rich Mullins's band and Rick's powerful vocals on the Mullins record released posthumously, The Jesus Record. But you might be more familiar with his songs he wrote for the soundtrack of the 1996 film "That Thing You Do!" and the movie's fictional band "The Wonders". Rick's first rock album definitely has some spiritual language, but it's mostly about Elias's personal experiences so I think it's an album that even a non-believer who likes some late '80s/early '90s rock will enjoy.
