Earthen Vessels

The St. Louis Jesuits?like never before
This unique anniversary edition features five never-before released tracks from the group’s original recording sessions in 1974. Dubbed playfully as “the Berkeley Basement Tapes,” these tracks offer a rare glimpse into the creative process of this influential music group. Interestingly, these then-new songs are already in the form and arrangement in which they were eventually released, almost as if they burst forth whole from the composers. The vocals on these tracks are an amazing testimony to how well their voices blended, even at this early stage of their career: the trademark harmonies, the detailed guitar lines?it’s all here.
