1974 Michael Omartian – White Horse

, , , ,

White Horse is the title of the first solo album by Michael Omartian, released originally in 1974, on Dunhill Records and subsequently re-released on Myrrh Records as both a single album and as a compilation of White Horse and Adam Again. (Both are now out-of-print.) Integrating elements of funk, gospel, and progressive rock (and utilizing the talents of some of the finest studio musicians and back-up singers of the time), White Horse is considered by some critics of contemporary Christian rock music, including Marty Phillips of Jesus Rock Legends, to be one of the most influential and revered albums of the genre.
