Malachi 4:5: “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD." Luke 1:17 – “He will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hears of the father’s to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”

Thanks to all the Blues Preachers who did not follow the path, but blazed a new trail for the Kingdom of God and Jesus Christ. This record is intended to pay homage to the Masters and their families. Musicians like Blind Willie Johnson, Rev. Gary Davis, Son House, Charley Patton, Rev. Pearly Brown, Blind Willie McTell, Rev. Edward W. Clayborn, Rev. JM Gates, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Blind Willie Davis, Skip James and the new breed of Blues Preachers like the master bluesman for Christ Glen Kaiser, Darrell Mansfield, Jimmie Bratcher, KM Williams, Steve Counsel and many, many more. My interpretation of the lyrics aren't perfect by any means and every chord is not exact - but the heartfelt passion - the desire to praise God in song - manifests itself in every track… Grace and Glory to YHWH in the Highest. PSALM 96: 1-3: Oh, sing to the LORD a new song! Sing to the LORD, all the earth. Sing to the LORD, bless His name; proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day. Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.

G2C or General Gypsy Carns recorded both tracks for this 2005 release. Each song was written after a visionquest where he experienced the events that are stated. Gypsy's ministry is centered around end times and the Jewish call to repentance to accept Yeshua as the Messiah or accept the impending wrath of His Father YHWH. You can catch the video for Wailin' Wall on this site or at You Tube under Gypsy Carns.

Smashers appeared on the New Wave scene in the late 70's and early 80's. The band consisted of the principal writer Victor Lovera; the brother and sister team of Fagan and Virginia Arouh and bass player/vocalist Gypsy Carns. Unfortunately, due to managerial differences, Virginia did not appear on the record. She however, was a major part of the Smashers sound and vibe. Taylor Rhodes joined the band for their debut release on Kat Family Records - 1981 - on keyboards and background vocals and Tony Newman on drums rounded out the band.

This balls to the wall '60's psychedelic band astounded audiences in Florida and surrounding states from 1965-68. The band was made up of:

The band opened for major recording artists touring the Florida circuit and were a phenomenon that the folks still discuss in that region of the USA. In recent years the premiere single by The Tasmainians "BABY" has sold for as much as $1300 with collecters in Europe. Listen to this fresh sound from 1967.
