BIOGRAPHY:
Along with Jerry Williams, the original members of Harvest were Ed Kerr and Paul Wilbur - both music Students.Wilbur had met Williams At A Church Where Williams was the youth Pastor, and Williams had been influential in Wilbur's decision to become a Christian.(Ed Kerr was a mutual friend of both Williams and Wilbur.The Three Men collaborated on the first two albums created by Harvest: Harvest and Morning Sun. Later in 1981, Wilbur left Harvest and the group was reformed as a Duo of Williams and Kerr. Williams and Kerr were together for the production of many records, including It's Alright Now, Send Us to the World, Voices, Only the Overcomers, Give Them Back, Holy Fire and Carry On. In 1982 the Magazine CCM took notice of the Duo in its article, "A Bountiful Harvest."The writer praised the Group's Vocal harmonies and was especially fond of the song "Because I Am" (found on the album It's Alright Now)(In 1988, it was the Discovery Broadcasting Network that took note of the band. The Network Recorded A Live Video of Harvest In Concert. On The Cover Of The Video, the network stated that Harvest averages "over 100 concerts a year," a large number of performances for any band. By 1991, Ed Kerr left the group and Harvest Became A Five-Player Band Led By Williams. With various members,Williams' band produced Let's Fight (For a Generation), Mighty River, and 41 Will Come. In 1992 the band went on an "Olympic and European Tour." They performed in Spain at the Barcelona Summer Olympics and at the Sevilla World Expo. Their tour also took them into Germany as part of Operation Mobilisation's "Love Europe" crusade. Harvest finished its tour with a performance in Holland.

REVIEW FOR THE ALBUMS:(Carry On)
Every song on This Album is A Winner. The songs are powerful and Uncompromising. The Vocals Are Excellent!!, and the sound mixing is also done well for A Great Blend Of Vocalization and Instrumentation.This is Harvest - what more can I say? Excellent recordings! I don't think they have A Bad Song! This is a Classic Album by Harvest, because of the changes that transpired over their years of ministry to this point. "Carry On" is a surprise at first because it has more edgy sound than usual for This Pioneer Ministry; but over all it is a keeper and it carries you back to the time when Christian music was more sincere and real. Enjoy. Harvest are A Minor Christian music institution Stateside but don't mean a light in the UK. I don't think it will change with this album for though there is Some delightful Hard Rock Guitar Playing and several of the lyrics go deep into Scripture the album clings to its anominity,One best ignored.This is really great CCM/Lite AOR, very well produced and performed. It's a bit on the Softer side of the spectrum but Michael Thompson's distinctive and tasteful guitar playing shines through every now and then. The Lead and Harmony Vocals of Williams and Kerr are stunning, just as the Catchy and Memorable Hooks. It's obvious that the lyrics are a bit preachy but don't be put off by that, this is A Near Classic that needs to be heard( http://robertigno.webs.com/)

REVIEW FOR THE ALBUM(Let's Fight For A Generation)
Hard to find 1991 recording by Jerry Williams' legendary ministry-minded Rock group. Also features prominent percussionist Alex Acuna..Few Bands Can Carry Straightforward Evangelistic Songs With The Passion And Honesty of Harvest. This is another classic album with well-balanced production and Flawless Execution. Williams' Robust Voice Is A Smooth, solid anchor to this excellent assemblage of players, resulting in a compelling classic American Roots Rock sound with some Adult Contemporary Textures. Passionate songwriting meets powerful performance. If you've ever loved Harvest or if you've never heard them, don't pass up this great disc( http://www.holymetalrob.com )
