filed in the same bin, and I once again took a chance (a dollar!) on buying a CD/band I had never heard/heard of. The 1992 CD was "Confined in Skin and Bones" (note the prophetic U2 "Yahweh" lyric reference) by Tabula Rasa. I couldn't help but be intrigued by that....and the bizarre, Godhaunted lyrics, long playing times of the songs, and Doug Kershaw on violin fiddle...sounded like it might be a Dave Matthews/Gabriel-era Genesis/Van Der Graff/prog/pre-screamo hybrid.
It turned out to be pretty much that.
Good quirky stuff.
I figured the singer/writer grew up Christian.
A Googling proved that right.
Turns out the band--broken up long ago--was big in hometown Dallas.
Leader/singer Ezra Boggs (Linked In, Facebook) has since started various bands :The Jury, Trio of One, The Drive-By Orchestra ('You can tell everybody in the band has a music degree,' Boggs admits, 'but it's still really ear-friendly').
But here below is his amazing God-story. Amazing guy:
