Description

Let the Music Take Your Mind is the sophomore and final album by the American rock group U.S. Apple Corps, released on Plantation Records in 1976, a division of The Shelby Singleton Corporation. The album was recorded at Singleton Sound Studios in Nashville, Tennessee; with S.S. Singleton producing. U.S. Apple Corps was an American Christian Hard/Blues/Psych Rock band.

Featuring Bryant Sterling (a.k.a. Denis Bryant) on vocals, Tommy Shaw on lead guitar, Jacob Stokes on bass, and Jeff Pocoro on drums.

More loud intense soulful hard rockin’ on this tougher-to-find follow-up. A new male singer takes over most of the lead vocals, pouring it on with a fervency equal to his female predecessor. And while their self-titled debut was strictly standards, Let The Music Take Your Mind is comprised mostly of original material. The music is both heavier and more diverse, including some blues-rock moves on the gospelly «That’s What My Man Is For» and the throbbing slow burner «Closer To The Man». The flames rage outta control on the Southern-styled «Dead» featuring slamming triple guitar action. «Get High On Jesus» was also covered on the mega-rare Earthen Vessel monster. Wild colorful psychedelic praying-hands-cross-Afro-head cover. [Ken Scott, The Archivist, 4th edition]
