THE TELESTIALS
I Can Call Jesus
Average Song Ratings: 3.3 / 5 Stars
Overall Album Rating: 3.5 / 5 Stars
The Telestials have been singing longer than I’ve been around.? The group got their start in the early 1960’s as a ladies trio know as the Harmony Trio.? Normally, I wouldn’t include this much historical information, but the following was too interesting to pass up.
In about 1960, A group went to Atlanta, GA to record their first LP album.They were known as the “Harmony Trio” but decided to change their name to the “Celestials,” notice the “C” instead of “T,” well the printers didn’t. And when the albums came back, all one thousand of them, a printing error had changed the name to the Telestials. I am sure they could have sent them back but, they didn’t. And now you know where the name came from. (SOURCE)
I Can Call Jesus is the latest installment in the groups discography and it is comprised of mostly cover tunes of previously recorded SG tunes mixed with some original material.? The album begins with a country flavored version of “I Wanna Go There”.? Producer Michael Sykes gives the listener many different feels on this CD, from P&W to Country to pure Southern Gospel.? I believe there will be something on this new project that each listener will enjoy, but at the same time, there will be tracks skipped.
Song List for I Can Call Jesus:
