Pax Vobiscum by The Strait
The difficult second album. Actually recorded in a studio, albeit a fairly inexpensive one, over two days (which all I deserve, really).
Still can't sing.
Cassette inlay available with download.

When his band, The Strait, split in 1983, Steve Temple kept the name and went solo. Inspired by Billy Bragg, dreams of being a Christian singer-songwriter were stymied by lack of skill and a voice that could only be described. Lately, more wit crept into his lyrics and later songs have been largely humorous with touches of the spiritual. Time with The Prudent Moves brought out his rockier side.
