Artist: Kroeze Brothers
LP: Especially For You
Song: "Glorybound Train"
[ listen ]
The photo on the record cover is somewhat misleading, since in reality there are only two Kroeze Brothers—Johnny (banjo) and Billy (guitar), they're the ones wearing brown suits and ties. The two figures in pink are not Kroeze Brothers, but are actually the brothers' wives—Kowanda (bass) and Sandra (versatile talent and arrangement ability). If you look carefully, you'll see two additional figures tucked away in the corner over by the chimney. That's Clement and Priscilla Humbard, who handle harp and Hawaiian accompaniment, respectively, and who also wrote the LP liner notes, included below. The Kroezes are a lively and talented local musical ministering family that's been preaching God's word from their homestead up in Everett, Washington for over 50 years. You can read all about the Kroezes and see what they're up to nowadays on their website here. I think it's high time I paid them a visit.

Hi Alex - I came across your post when I was researching the 'Kroeze Bros Evangelistic Team'. I am a mixed media artist from NZ, now based in Las Vegas. Lately I've been working on found record albums and discovered a few gems in Phoenix, including 'The Wonder of It All' by the Kroeze Bros. You seem to enjoy albums from the 60s and 70s too. Do you have any particular interests?
Why on earth were you researching the 'Kroeze Bros Evangelistic Team!?' haha... They've got a weekly service up in Everett, WA that I still haven't attended, need to check that out soon.
I've got lots of interests—and musically, just about anything goes as long as it's good, really bad, or at least somehow interesting.
