Ed Raetzloff, with his group Blue Jug, played with some of the nation’s finest — Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allman Brothers Band, Charlie Daniels Band. Ed was doing it all, till one day his commitment as a Christian was tested. Ed’s response, in the middle of a contract meeting, was to stand, tear up his contract, and walk out saying, “I’ll either do it for God, or I’ll not do it.” That commitment has not brought him instant joy or fame, but instead some suffering and pain. This album is a testimony to that commitment. A commitment not only to the Lord but also to a style of music. I call it Jesus music. It lifts up the name of Jesus, it praises the name of Jesus, it brings glory to the Father, and it rocks!

In 1980 this Christian album "It took a long time to get to you" came out of nowhere. One can confidently classify the album under Southern Rock. A year later his second album "Drivin Wheels" was released for the CCM market. Both album contain some of the best, blazin' blues guitar and southern rock.

This album does not come with a trading card and it was ripped from vinyl as original sources are not available anywhere. However you are going to be pleased. After many painstaking hours this is cleaned up to near perfection sounding as if it came right from the master reels. Just take a listen.

How did I never know about Ed Raetzloff

First time I've ever listened to Ed Raetzloff. So glad I purchased this and Driving Wheels.

It took a long time to get to me

Me finding this album that is! Wow!!! I never heard of Ed Raetzloff until Girder reissued these two Fantastic Records. One of my favorite things about having a love for music is finding rare gems like this! I can’t stop listening to this album, It’s some of the best spirit filled Christian Southern style rock I’ve ever heard. Thank you Ed and Girder for this absolute blessing of an album. Fantastic!!!!!!

Hard To Find Treasure

Only Girder has Ed's two CD's. Get them both. They are both great. I like this one a little better because it rocks a little harder. Thank you Girder for bringing this great music back.

Southern Rock with a message

This is one of my all time favorite CCM albums. So delighted to get it on CD. Shame he only did 2 albums. But I HIGHLY recommend this one to anybody that’s a southern rock fan!

Brings me back

I feel the 80s was the golden age for Christian music. Folks were losing their fear of different genres of music. This was one of the great albums that I thought would never see the light of day on CD. Country rock at its finest. If you guys could work out a deal with Pat Terry’s Humanity’s Gangster album, my life would be complete haha
