The Exceptions

Crude but rockin’ Christian garage rocker from 1966, believed to be the first such undertaking, predating the faux Electric Prunes take on Mass by two years. Don’t let the subject matter deter you – all 5 songs on the Rock ‘N’ Roll Mass EP are classic twangy fast-paced garage rockers at heart, with great guitar laced with some fuzz here and there. And take a look at that pic sleeve. The guy playing bass is none other than future Chicago star Peter Cetera, whose vocals are unmistakable on the rockin’ “Glory To God.” He would leave the Exceptions in 1967 to record “Hard For Me To Say I’m Sorry” (well, eventually…), and the Exceptions would later become Aorta. Otherwise, we’d have 16 Exceptions albums to choose from today…Exceptions I, Exceptions II, Exceptions III, Exceptions IV…
