Capital City Star Singers - I'll Fly Away
Capital City Star Singers - I'll Fly Away

In a previous post focussing on Paul Owens' career outside the Brooklyn Allstars we noticed that he was lead singer of The Mighty Mellotones. After his period with Mighty Mellotones and before rejoining the Brooklyn Allstars in 1977, he made one album with The Capital City Star Singers.
And what an album!!!!!
"Jesus Is On The Mainline" (SongBird LP 231) is an excellent album full of funky gospel soul and is one of my favourite SongBird albums. Information on the album cover about membership of the group, studio recorded and session musicians involved is very scarce. All we know is that besides Paul Owens, Roger Liscomb is singing lead on a few of the songs. On "I'll Fly Away" they share the lead. So no information about the musicians involved and it's the music that takes this album to the next level.
