Where it came from
Wake Up And Wonder was released in 1981 on the ABI label as a niche contribution to the Christian music market. Produced by Tom Nielsen and The Parker Brothers, the project emerged during a period when independent labels were increasingly exploring contemporary pop and soft rock arrangements to convey spiritual themes, aiming to bridge the gap between traditional gospel music and the radio-friendly sounds popular at the turn of the decade.
The album serves as a document of the DIY production ethos common among regional Christian artists of the early 1980s. Designed with a focus on earnest, melodic songwriting, it reflects the broader aesthetic of the era's private-press spiritual records, which often prioritized intimate, thematic storytelling over commercial polish. While it remains a deep-cut obscurity in the broader music landscape, it is appreciated by collectors of rare 1980s independent pressings for its authentic period production and earnest delivery.
