Heartsfield's
second album was recorded as the band was touring like mad. The boys
rented a house in a small Illinois town and moved into an average 1973
American middle-class neighborhood--what a surprise for everybody.
Perry Jordan, the band's leader says, "Here come 12 long-haired musicians, cooks, roadies, and
producers with a small army of trucks, motorcycles, stereos and women
making for a grand new addition to local population. One thing for
sure, the only distractions were at the band house--guess that was the
idea.
"On top of that the studio was a great one for sure but of all
things specialized in Christian music. The title track, 'The Wonder Of
It All,' won a mention in jazz music journal Down Beat Magazine as
having a great jazz feel in the song."
This is when Heartsfield started
to make more use of different instrumentation such as keyboards,
synthesizers, harmonica, horns, banjo, pedal steel, and anything else
they could find. This was also the first time they carried a vegetarian
cook on the crew, and every night you could find a bunch of wild-eyed
fellers at the local burger joint a couple of hours after dinner.
