“Krazy”
The Church Boyz
From the Worldwide Music CD The Church Boyz (2011)

Sounding like a young Men of Standard, the Church Boyz of Chicago is a contemporary quartet with an old soul. The group lends a jazzy, sanctified style to the loping “Krazy.”

Here, they sing about coming through the trials of life: “even though I knew what I want, I was often confused about what I need.” Without the Lord, or had the enemy prevailed, they would have gone “crazy, stone crazy…straight out of my mind.” A thumping bass keeps funky time while punctuating horns evoke the button-down sophistication of Earth, Wind and Fire.

Back in 2009, TBGB had a chance to speak with Rev. Eric Harris of the Church Boyz and is pleased to see they have gotten major label attention via Kerry Douglas’s Worldwide Music.
