Very rare original 1989 UK pressing on Dayspring records

Petra is one of the earliest Christian rock bands, and thus incredibly influential. In 1989 they released their first ever “praise and worship” album. This made perfect sense really; if there was anything you can say about Petra, they were very passionate about Jesus, and most of their songs in their catalogue are highly worshipful anyway. An album of praise and worship songs, both classic and original Petra compositions, was an inevitability. Petra Praise: The Rock Cries Out is a guitar-driven rock praise album from start to finish. Not all the songs are hard rockers, but they’re definitely Petra-flavoured. The two original songs — “I Love The Lord” and “The King Of Glory Shall Come In” — are fantastic and definitely uplifting. Several classic worship songs are given a traditional Petra feel, such as “King of Kings,” “Jesus, Glorious One,” “The Battle Belongs to the Lord,” and “Salvation Belongs to Our God.” The band delves into a more melodic and softer tone for their renditions of the songs “Take Me In” and “Hallowed Be Thy Name,” while “No Weapon Formed Against Me” and “I Will Sing Praise” take an alternate route and are provided with loud, melodic guitars, an authentic keyboard vibe, and of course John Schlitt’s amazing and passionate vocals. By ending the album with two live versions of “I Will Call Upon the Lord” and “I Exalt Thee,” you’d think that this would be its only downfall. Surprisingly, although not as polished as the rest of the songs, the sound makes you feel like you’re part of the crowd participating in these magnificent worship songs. Petra Praise: The Rock Cries Out is front to back awesome guitar-driven and fun rock praise, for when you need that extra thing in your time praising our Lord Jesus Christ. Highly recommended.
