So often people request stuff from me but don't leave a valid email address. If you have a request, please include a valid return address in your comment. I know it's risky, but I can't reply to all messages as comments to a post. Someone even included an email address that wasn't valid. If that was you, this is why I'm not replying!

More and more groups are coming out with "Rarities and B-sides" albums, and I think that there is enough material for Deliverance to do the same. Of course that is hard to do if they are no longer a legal entity... but the fact remains that there is some cool stuff out there. Although there are only two b-sides, and nothing is really all that rare, I have created a new page to sample some stuff

The 'Other Paul' from from the "TGBTG and "Give It A Try" albums (far left on the TGBTG cover) graciously provided some additional information on the song "Steine", as well as some better copies of a few songs.He wrote: I noticed that your audio on 'Last Road to Forever' was not great so I have attached a slightly different version that you may want to use. Steine is the German version and the

This is the first time I've seen music by the group called "Janz", created after the demise of Deliverance. Perhaps it's their only song. It's very un-deliverance like, but not unlike the Danny Paul (& Wayne) stuff.

Since the last post Ken Janz has written a tell-all book (A Rebel in God's Hands) about his not so exemplary life after Deliverance, Paul's son Chris has released a CD on a major Christian label, Ken's son Andrew is a rising star, (see http://leojanz.blogspot.com/ for even more Janz news), every major music WIKI suddenly has a SLEW of Deliverance and Janz team information (nothing existed when I

One Year has passed since the last post. I received two comments in that time, and I've added maybe two song lyrics to the music pages. I am happy with this blog the way it is, and will continue adding lyrics as time allows. If you have been enjoying a song and want to help by transcribing the lyrics for me, please do. Just copy and paste your lyrics into a comment to this post and I'll take it

Yesterday we buried my wife's mother. Her cousins sang a special number, which of course was familiar to me, but seemed too familiar, like I had just heard it yesterday. Later that night as I was lying in bed, it struck me why that song seemed so close ... it is on the Danny and Paul album, If I Ask - track #3. That song now has a new significance to me.

On the advice of a friend, I went to a self-help store today and scored big-time. I got two Janz Team Singers albums (with Ken Janz) and the Danny Wayne and Paul Album Salvation Song. My list looks like this: Janz Team: Janz Team Singers Janz Team Singers / frieden Danny Paul Wayne / Salvation Song Jack Stenekes / Children Of Time* Hildor Janz / Ja, das ist wunderbar* Hildor Janz Harding

I have finally seen and heard the first of the four Deliverance albums. My memory of the album has faded over the years, and this album cover looks totally different than what I had pictured but it is, nevertheless, the first Deliverance Album. - To God Be The Glory. The music is unique in that it departed from the church songs and hymns of previous Janz Team records, and concentrated on the

Ok, so I was going through my Christian Record box, and I found a record I have never played before: Janz Team Singers. I look at the back and found Ken Janz, plus three other members of Deliverance - Give It A Try. The only person out of place (in our context) was Jack Stenekes, who would go on to be the head of the music ministry for the Janz Team in the late 70's. In fact, our families moved

In 1980 Tightrope was played several times a day by our local station. At the time I didn't have a copy of the Tightrope album, so I didn't think anything of the version that played on the radio except that I liked it. Very much. In fact when it came on, my 15 year old brain stopped working, and I would sit in a daze until that song was over. I like the song so much that I taped it off of my

Here is the last album of Deliverance (click on the picture on the right-->). Not the last of the music the indivual members will create, but the end of the collaberation and perfect blend of voices that made Deliverance a great vocal band. After this they leave a musical legacy, carried on by their own individual careers and now their childrens.

My copy of Lasting Impressions has been played once... to record these files. I did have another copy but I gave that one away. The album is as clean as LP's get so i have applied no noise filtering at all. I may need a new needle for my turntable to get rid of the distortion in the higher frequencies.

The Give It A Try recordings are decent, with very few pops and cracks, but there is some static in the background. My recording program has a bevy of tools and filters to reduce noise, but I need to learn how to use them. I've burned a CD with a straight recording, and now I'll try one with the white noise filter turned on and with the tracks normalized (for added volume). Again, the files are

Here's in interesting tidbit about the history of AOR and the future of radio. The only connection to Deliverance here is the format of their Tightrope album, which mimics the AOR bands of the day. I'm also really interested if people are going to be willing to pay $120/yr(USD) for the XM-radio reception in their vehicles.

While researching the band Deliverance, I came across a lot of references to AOR bands. This was an entirely new term to me, and had me confused for a while. Apparently Tightrope is considered an AOR record, Lasting impressions is borderline, and Give It A Try is of no interest to AOR lovers. Well, from the context I assumed that AOR would have something to do with the progressive rock and rock

I believe this was the birthday party of Leo Janz. Special music provided by his sons and ex-Deliverance members, Ken and Paul Janz. Danny Janz was around, but not involved in this piece. Ever since I attended Black Forest Academy in the late 70's, I have had this mild obsession with our local band, the European rock band Deliverance. The band has hung around in my mind like the ghost of a
