The Bevins Specials - “If I Had A Hammer” (1971)
I found a stash of Nashboro Records 45s at my old place of work and this is one of the A-sides from said stash. Though the roster of Nashboro (out of Nashville, obv.) is technically all “gospel” it actually ranges from traditional gospel, blues, soul, and r&b and intermixes it all. They had a few offshoots like Nasco, Crescent & Mankind Records and they reached more into secular music. I’m always looking for that center label and even if I’ve never heard the artist, I’ll usually give it a whirl anyway.
And the 4th vocalist who has a solo…whoa, that shit is insane.
B-side will come later today if people seem to like this one enough.
