Shiloh

1992 · Shiloh

Shiloh is the gospel band Shiloh's self-titled 1992 album — nine songs written and performed by the band: Mike Post, Mike Crawford, Mike TenEyck, Chuck West, and Ken Bradbury. It was recorded at Rainey Day Studio in Jacksonville, Illinois, and the cover photo of the five of them against a red wall is by Keith Bradbury. It follows the band's earlier albums Bomp Me on the Head Again, Dear Lord (1985) and Don't Nobody Sing Me No Sad Songs About My Jesus (1986).

The album survived on a cassette in Ken's archive, which the Foundation digitized in 2026 and has restored for this release. Every track can be played right here; the full album is also available as a lossless FLAC download above.

About the songs

The record moves between story-songs and calls to faith. "Bobby Malone" is the tale of an old shepherd who dances alone on the hillside for his Savior. "Only Saints" and "Be My Best Bible" are about faith handed down between generations: "only saints can raise a child to love the Lord," and a plea to an elder to "tell me the stories you've earned the right to tell." "Sing Glad Hosanna" sets the morning of the Resurrection, and "What's It Gonna Take" closes the first side by asking "what will it take to move a nation?"

Four of these recordings, "Everything Falls Apart," "Glory Glory," "Bobby Malone," and "Be My Best Bible," also appear on the Shiloh compilation Album 1.
