Soul Messengers – Sweet Land Of Mine 1976 (Kingdom)


From what I have been told the Soul Messengers were a group of Americans that immigrated into their chosen holy land of Israel in the 70’s. This makes sense as the title track is a blatant Neil Diamond rip off but the writing is credited to “The Soul Messengers”. Despite the comical religious reworking of “Sweet Caroline” there are some great moments on here. It is a very diverse LP and ranges from sweet soul, to funk and even spaced out free jazz.

Listen:“Sweet Land”, “Holdin’ On”
