Come and Join Us (Remastered) - CD

Girder Music presents Petra's Come and Join Us with fully remastered audio on CD. The jewel case package includes an 8-page booklet, complete with lyrics and photos, plus a "Girder Presents" hype sticker. Come and Join Us, Petra's second album, was originally released on Myrrh Records in 1977. Expanding upon the groundwork established by their debut, this album delivers a blend of loud, hard-driving Jesus rock, with a subtle shift towards a classic rock sound tinged with rural influences. Greg Volz makes his debut, unveiling his remarkable vocals on tracks such as 'Woman Don't You Know' and a rendition of the Argent anthem 'God Gave Rock & Roll To You'. 'Holy Ghost Power' and 'Sally' introduce funky grooves and gritty rhythms, while 'Where Can I Go' and 'Without Him' emerge as robust rockers brimming with energy. The album is adorned with impressive guitar licks, complemented by a standout drum solo featured on 'Woman Don't You Know'. Amidst the fervor, only one ballad, the closing anthem 'Ask Him In', filled the void for many Christians that were encouraged to discarded mainstream albums.
