Sophomore Effort
This is Larry Norman’s second album, Street Level. This would be the Album I first heard back in 1974 at the Jesus Store. We carried it and had a Demo that my partner, Ray McMahon, raved over. He was 15 years older than I and had been a real life “Hippy”. He had grown up listening to all the early Rock and Roll artists that sang about “a Way”. Larry Norman is said to have invented the One Way sign; the Hand with Index finger extended upward. Ray resonated with Norman’s “matter of fact” relationship with God through Jesus, who was “The Way”! Listen to it and see if it resonates with you.

Street Level is a live album recorded by Larry Norman in 1970. The second LP version, released in 1971 and 1972 under the same name, has a different B-side. The 2001 CD issue combines the tracks from both versions. The 2005 CD re-issue has the same selection of tracks as the original 1970 LP release. The album was one of two released by Norman while between contracts to Capitol Records (1969) and to MGM Records (1971).
