Description

Where is the Peace? is the sophomore album by the American folk/country-rock duo Shiloh (Dennis McIntosh and Mike Kelley), released on Sonburst Records in 1976. The album was produced, recorded, and mixed by Paul Weaver with band member Dennis McIntosh co-producing. The album track “My Lord” was later covered by Barry McGuire on his 1977 album, Have You Heard.

Where Is The Peace? provides another quality round of rural acoustic rock, country folk and melancholy ballads, with natural hands-off pastoral arrangements that are refreshing to the ear. «Country Song» recalls Arlo Guthrie’s version of «City Of New Orleans» which oughta give the uninitiated an inkling of the group’s sound. Nice electric guitar lead on «The Captain Song». Simple string arrangements gently embrace the title track, «Elaine’s Song» and the piano ballad «The Saints Who’ve Gone Before», while fiddle helps to fire up «I’ll Give Him My Life». If the country bands on Maranatha are too overproduced for your tastes you’d do well to give Shiloh a try. From Redwood City, California. [Ken Scott, The Archivist, 4th Edition]
