Broken Promises this song, this album has been pivotal to my finding my walk with Jesus. The song I associate most with this one, and the title track to this album, is Awaiting Your Reply. It is also a very powerful and meaningful song. This music ministers to me still after all these decades. So glad you found the them.
Awaiting Your Reply is the name of the album, Broken Promises is the name of the song, one of my all time favorites that I still pull out. Glenn Kaiser is one of the most passionate musicians out there. He puts more feeling in his music than any other Christian singer I know of.
I love this song. It’s my first time on your channel. Very talented Christian rock band, ahead of their time. They still have an active outreach ministry in Chicago.
Larry Norman left a successful (million selling record) secular career after giving his life to serve Christ and being baptised in the Holy Spirit in 1968 and pioneered that which was then Christian Rock but also later incorporated the whole Christian Contemporary Music scene - paving the way for Rez, Petra, Randy Stonehill, Daniel Amos, We The Kingdom, Lauren Daigle, 2nd Chapter of Acts (with Barry McGuire at times), Matthew Ward and others . Phil Keaggy (a renowned guitarist) also helped pioneer with Glass Harp and after
Yes I know these guy's music very well. Great stuff. Them and Daniel Amos from the late 70s early 80s. My favorite Resurrection Band album is Autograph. Worth checking out.
The title says "awaiting your reply" but the song you're actually playing is "broken promises". They are both great songs. Actually all the songs from these guys are terrific. God bless you brother.
There was only one Resurrection Band... usually you need to really get into the message of the music to understand it. They were speaking to street kids, inner city youth, etc. The message is very powerful, I would recommend “Live Bootleg “... 1st CD I bought, I think they were blues 1st, then Rock, then Metal
My parents owned a Christian Bible/book store in the SW subs of Chicago when I was young, they sold music as well. I was not allowed to listen to mainstream rock or metal in the house but they let me listen to this and any other Christian rock bands. I stuck with these guys and a band Petra back then. Even seen them a few times at a place called the Odium in Villa Park, IL with a few older teens from Church. I really liked this and many other songs from this band back in the day. Glad you liked it and thanks for doing the reaction. Might throw a few others at you in the future. Thanks again.
@M Davis That bookstore was more of a ministry for my parents than a source of income. It wasn't a well off community and the neighborhood teens would hang out or borrow money (on a tab) from them to play arcade games at the ice cream shop next door. Gave my parents an opportunity to witness to them; pretty sure every kid was given a Bible which my father would engrave it with their name in gold letters to make it special. We'd have locals with no family over at holidays. That went on for years after the store closed as they built some lifelong friendships in that community. I'm sure most of those bookstores had similar stories and had similar impacts on their communities.
Wow does this ever take me back. Hadn't heard this since I was in lil league baseball (pre-teens) lol. My dad wasn't too sure about it till he listened to the words. Lol Great pick. They were ahead of thier time. Most Christians weren't ready for bands like this.. Reminds me a lil of Ted Neely now from Jesus Crist Superstar. Loved the music in that, wish I knew how to do links on this phone. Lol
This was not one of Rez Band’s best albums. You REALLY should check out stuff from their “Silent Screams” album or their “Civil Rites “ album. One of the best blues songs you’ll ever hear “ Run Where Roses Grow” Off of their “Silent “ Screams” album. BTW I’m 70 years young and STILL ROCKIN FOR JESUS ! 🙏🏻
@@grahamkey8496 True, I just like some better than others. If this group were secular ( thank God they were not), they would have been blockbuster big. Their playing, vocals and writing are second to none. I have seen them live several times and spoken with the members of the band, and can truly say that they are genuinely kind, down to earth , committed ministers of the cross.
Colors was their first album with modern, first rate production... Even so, the first and still the best until Theocracy! For another, more representative example of Rez Band full bore, NYC from the Colors disk or Silence Screams from the Silence Screams disk. These guys were our Led Zeppelin, blues based ROCK with a message Zeppelin could only alude to (Nobody's Fault But Mine)!!!
"Colours" (not sure why they spelled it that way) blew me away, each song was so incredibly good...musically, lyrically, production quality...it's always been my favorite Resurrection Band album. I really liked that I understood the meaning of each song. Later on, Rez sometimes became too artistic for my own good, and I'd be like "huh?" regarding some of the song's meanings. Plus, the music would vary quality wise. But Colours....not a "skip" song on the entire album!
@@eyerock36 Chicago being so close to Canada and being Rez Band's home probably had something to do with their way of spelling it as colours rather than colors. It's the Canadian variant. It was a French influence. Also, a lot of Glenn Kaiser's music style is based on southern blues so I imagine a bit of Cajun French influence may have played a roll as well.
Love Rez, One of my favorite lyrics from them Was From Army green to down the drain No place to go And down the drain Like the cloud that are full of rain Jesus came down and spoke my name.
I think a great song you should do, if you haven't already and I just not know about it, is a song by Steve Taylor which I think in this day and age, the title of the song is very fitting. It is called "Whatever Happened To Sin"! For those that think certain music is a sin, first off, music is music, the words to it makes it bad or good, but play this for them...… "God Gave Rock And Roll To Ya" by Petra, another AWESOME Christian Rock Band!
I totally agree with you. Music is music, basically, a joyful noise. not everyone is into mellow stuff and if that was the prerequisite, I would not bother. Furthermore, God gave the musician his/her talent, would be a waste of God given talent if they didn't utilize it to its fullest.
You are so correct with your end assessment! I am a Rez fan, and have been since 1980, and still listening. People have told me I shouldn't listen, or there's something wrong with the music. So, at one point I sat down and typed out the lyrics, and showed them to several people I knew. They loved them! Then I asked if they wanted to listen to the song. Of course they did! Until they heard the music... Then I was told to turn it off, and how ANGRY they were that I'd fooled them. Well, I'm still rockin', and still loving Jesus!
Wow...a bit of Rez...if you like them you should check out the lead singer, Glenn Kaiser Band, album “Octane” and the song “Street Corner Blues”. Rez also have a couple of great albums “Bootleg” which is a live album, and “Innocent Blood”.
Rez Band was my favorite band for many years, starting in 1980. Loved their message, music and talent. Glenn's vocals were my target for my own singing style. The grittiness, the clarity and the passion. What's not to like? Peace!
Glenn was and is the most gut wrenching vocalist in christian rock.
@@toddgouge2018 He sings with unparalleled passion
This is my all time favorite band. Very under rated. Some others you might want to check out are “where roses grow”, “the struggle”, and “Africaans”.
and Shadows, Mommy Doesn't Love Daddy Anymore, Military Man etc
Broken Promises this song, this album has been pivotal to my finding my walk with Jesus. The song I associate most with this one, and the title track to this album, is Awaiting Your Reply. It is also a very powerful and meaningful song. This music ministers to me still after all these decades. So glad you found the them.
Glen Kaiser the lead singer could put together some very impactful lyrics; totally unapologetic...no fluff with the Rez Band.
I bought this album shortly after it first came out and loved it! saw them live and they were LOUD
Awaiting Your Reply is the name of the album, Broken Promises is the name of the song, one of my all time favorites that I still pull out. Glenn Kaiser is one of the most passionate musicians out there. He puts more feeling in his music than any other Christian singer I know of.
Rez! Awesome blues!!!!
ThAnks for reviewing this. Probably one of the most important song in my life
Great album!!

Yes, I used to listen to Autograph all the time.... that stuff was good!
The album is called colours isn’t it?
@@jesseedmondson2861Yes. Autograph is the first track
Like Paul the apostle said, become all things to all men that we may gain them. Rez Band understood this .
The title says "awaiting your reply" but the song you're actually playing is "broken promises". They are both great songs. Actually all the songs from these guys are terrific. God bless you brother.
Love Resurrection Band!
Awaiting your reply was 1978
the fact that you and I connected on that song,,, Grace and Peace my friend

Depends where you stand. I'm not a metal head, but this is one of my favourite albums.
They never made a bad album really imo

Song is broken promises
Love Rez, One of my favorite lyrics from them Was
From Army green to down the drain
No place to go
And down the drain
Like the cloud that are full of rain
Jesus came down and spoke my name.
Crazy lyrics that are TRUE! If we ALL followed them we would be closer to the Gospel. GOD loves us all and we NEED to wrap ourselves in it.
ROCK OF ALL AGES ( YOUNG & OLD) JESUS
I had that album when I was a young guy. Good Stuff
Have this album also love it from day one.
Great reaction.

Well, I'm still rockin', and still loving Jesus!
sad people are so boxed in that they can't open their minds to the powerful message because they have been programmed the music is evil
Wow...a bit of Rez...if you like them you should check out the lead singer, Glenn Kaiser Band, album “Octane” and the song “Street Corner Blues”. Rez also have a couple of great albums “Bootleg” which is a live album, and “Innocent Blood”.

Check out Waves off the same album.
