The Glenn Kaiser Band (GKB) is a veteran trio from Chicago that combines classic rock and blues styles. Glenn Kaiser, formerly of Resurrection Band (Rez), is featured in this rockin' band with his powerful vocals and soulful, gritty electric and slide guitar. Roy Montroy, also of Rez, sets the groove on bass guitar and Ed Bialach on drums drives the rhythm with precision and style. These three musicians have jammed together for years and it shows in their tight, energetic performances. ---grrrrecords.com

Glenn Kaiser has released a new cigar box guitar album called "Long Way From My Home". With this being a cigar box guitar album, Glenn has chosen to take this back to a very rootsy sound. You will hear Glenn and his guitars he's built or had built for him. You will hear some from his old "Trimmed & Burning" days. This is classic blues in the delta style. --- christianhardmusic.com

During the lonely and troubled periods of his youth in Wisconsin, Glenn Kaiser found solace in music. As the youngest child born to parents who were already raising a boy and a girl, he sang to fill the hours when his older siblings moved out on their own. When divorce tore his family apart when he was nine years old, he again turned to music to ease the loneliness and pain. Within three years he joined a local band. By the age of 18, however, his troubles had grown. The little boy who had once found solace in music had already tried to kill himself. He had also overdosed on drugs several times, and floated in and out of a string of relationships as well as bands. By 1971, however, Kaiser had turned to Jesus. He gave up singing to better concentrate on spiritual matters. Kaiser allowed music back into his life a year later when he contemplated ministering to others with his songs. He became a member of the gospel rock Resurrection Band, aka REZ, in conjunction with the movement known as Jesus People USA. In later years, Kaiser would work as one of the Chicago-based community's pastors. He also turned his ministry toward the blues-rock genre and established the Glenn Kaiser Band. Another Resurrection Band alumnus, bass player Roy Montroy, joined Kaiser's new group, and drummer Ed Bialach completed the outfit. Kaiser also is an author. With Cornerstone Press he published two books, The Responsibility of the Christian Musician and More Like a Master: A Christian Musician's Reader. --- Linda Seida, allmusic.com

When I came to this album, the fourth from the last in my stack of 13, I thought to myself, "I could bump this review to the next issue, if it's another acoustic album." But then I put the disc in and started to listen. Glenn endeavors to offer something "to a world glutted with musicians but sorely lacking in human beings." He succeeds in giving us both. Drenched in slide and acoustic guitar, this material drips with a classy classic rock a la Rod Stewart or Eric Clapton. It's not rockin' enough to be Resurrection Band material (although several of these would probably fit in fine within the context of an album), and it's got too much blues attitude to go on one of his acoustic worship albums. I'd be more inclined to file this with the acoustic blues albums he did with Darrell Mansfield. I'm glad that Glenn had the opportunity to put these songs out, even if they don't neatly fit into one of these convenient labels. I'm glad because the music really does something for me.

The lyrics (I'm not surprised) do something for me as well. Many a musician would do well to ponder his musings in the song "Ya Don't Say Much." Glenn's been around for several years and seen most of the bands in the Christian music industry play at Cornerstone, so his experience bears listening. He's earned the right to comment on what he's seen. Like a gentle father, he doesn't come across thoughtless or calloused. He later drops the same thought as a bomb in "Deliver." Whew! Nobody needs to ask Glenn, "Tell us how you really feel!"

And when you have lyrics like the ones in "Good Hope & New Philadelphia," it makes you wish (no, demand!) that this guy gets on the road with John Mellencamp (or at least VH-1) and spreads some of this wisdom around. Glenn Kaiser is a treasure, folks, and this song right here shows it as well as any. ---DV, web.archive.org

Over twenty-five years of Glenn Kaiser's pioneering contemporary Christian music ministry have culminated in the Glenn Kaiser Band, a scorching power trio that serves up hard-driving blues rock with no-nonsense lyrics that appeal to both longtime Resurrection Band fans as well as fans of Kaiser's ground breaking solo blues albums. 2000's "Winter Sun," the freshman project from Kaiser, bassist Roy Montroy, and drummer Ed Bialach, received some of the most enthusiastic reviews ever given a Kaiser-related project. "Carolina Moon," like "Winter Sun," is rooted in the blues/rock tradition yet features more of bassist Montroy's powerful rock-based tunes. This brings even more edge and flash to GKB's sound. Fans of Resurrection Band will note that influence, as Kaiser and Montroy were principal songwriters for REZ. --- newreleasetoday.com

Blistering blues pulsing through the heart of hard rock. The Glenn Kaiser Band delivers with more zippity zest than was hinted at in their former album Winter Sun, even on the crowd-pleasers like their cover of "Nobody's Fault But Mine." Not just for fans of Kaiser's solo Blues work, Carolina Moon will please Resurrection Band fans looking for beefy chops, high-powered percussion and passionate, orotund vocals. Among the most consistent and accomplished albums of Kaiser's recording career, Carolina Moon is obligatory listening for the School of Heavenly Hard Knocks. --- Steven S. Baldwin, tollbooth.org
