Shine on backwards oh, masters of my fate
Tell me great ones just how I rate
Should I bow my head or scream your holy names
Tell me dear ones am I still in the game?
Shine on up down to you dear lords I pray
Give me answers and happiness today
Should I dress in white or wear thee around my neck
Tell me great ones just how to write the check

To pay for my sins and keep my lords in animal skins
To pay for my acts and keep my lords in white cadillacs

This morning today, 041924, has been made Golden, up to here.
Thanks for the last 20's, and the 20's to come!

Crack the Sky is one of my favorite "unknown" bands from way  back. Great to hear them on RP.

+1 to 8 on the strength of the outro, and Long Live RP and lords in white Cadillac's!

I always loved this band, especially the earlier albums. This song is great, but not particularly representative of most of their music. Check out the rest of the album, and the others. Thanks for playing, RP!

Wow these guys are so far below the radar it’s hard to believe they aren’t doing it on purpose.  But Radio Paradise still found them.  They are still putting out albums!

Saw three of their albums in an antique store yesterday.   Ironic to note that they're antiques, and even further ironic that the checkout woman asked me, "Do you really have a turntable for these?"

Outstanding, biting satire under a lovely melody!  I always loved CTS!!!!

Hmm.....  This song did not reach the coal mine single men's bunkhouse where I was living in 1976.  

Judging from some of the comments, I will have to pay more attention.  FWIW, this song reminds me a little of quebecois group Harmonium which could be described as acoustic-weighted prog rock.

 Dead on the money!! Great first 3 albums. Very intelligent compositions. I am still looking for those albums complete on CD. One of the rock bands I was drumming for in the 70's covered Hold On.

The first three CTS albums and the live album are just incredible, and mandatory. Not quite Prog rock, but really great intricate musicianship and complex arrangements with great lyrics. What more could you want?

Due to some personality issues and likely infighting (the lead singer for albums 1-3 isn't singing on the live album, for instance) things got less amazing afterward.
In fact, there's a big history to the band that's worth reading - later.

For now, go grab CTS, Animal Notes, Safety in Numbers, and Live Sky. You will so incredibly impressed.

CTS put out some kick ass albums back in the 70s. RP listeners would love their stuff. Witowski is as good as Brian May.

As mentioned earlier - "Crack The Sky - Live Sky" is near the top of the best live rock albums of all time list IMHO.

As far as I know, it has never been released in it's entirety on CD, but I still enjoy my vinyl of it. Side one just kicks butt.

Compare the theme song from the recently not renewed HBO show "Vinyl" with the live version of "Lighten Up McGraw" (both can be found on youtube).

This is a better song than John Lennon even thought about writing after 1969.  If he was as insightful as he thought he was, something like this would have come out instead of fatuous crap like "Imagine".  Great cut, sorry I never heard of these guys.  BTW, it does predate Jonestown and the Swami Bahgram up here in the PNW.  A bit prophetic, eh?

Have their "Safety in Numbers" LP. Very nice. Nuclear Apathy is the highlight IMHO. I always think of this band at the same time as Pretty Things and their LP "Silk Torpedo." Maybe I shouldn't, but I do.

Saw and met them in Pittsburgh in 1978.  Good show at the then Stanley Theatre.  We played them quite a lot on the late great WYDD freeform radio station in the 70's

Great band! I can't figure out why they never broke big. Great mix between progressive rock, catchy tunes and hooks with witty lyrics. To this day I cannot fing all the original releases reissued on CD.

I HIGHLY recommend the first 4 LPs and Live Sky.

In the best W.C. Fields voice the MC introduces the band.... "Ladies and Gentlemen, this band has come all the way down from an acid trip just to play for you. Please welcome, Crack The Sky"

I had a buddy who loved them. He turned me on to them about the same time I found RP.
He had all their stuff on vinyl, and they and RP sounded great on his '65 Fisher Tube amp he got refurbed from E-bay(hurray for russian tubes!) and he was transferring his collection to mp3s as fast as he could, but for real pleasure we listened to the vinyl

Yes they did.
Rick Witkowski played with Wild Cherry of "Play that Funky Music" fame.  I think there might be a Beaver Falls connection also.
I have Animal Notes and Crack the Sky on vinyl, there's no mention of any Steubenville or Wheeling connections in the liner notes.

I totally agree about the Intro! It is on the "Live Sky" LP. A band I was in during the early 80's actually opened our show with "Hold On" ala Live Sky.

Add "Ice" and "Nuclear Apathy", "Rangers at Midnight"  for the witty lyric. They had several very good albums.

Crack the Sky! I never thought I'd hear them over the "air" again. Their lyrics were a little shaky, but the band played wonderful stuff on their Crack the Sky LP. Have to dig it out....hope it didn't get warped or mildewed in the humidity (it's not the heat, you know) I'd always thought they were from West Virginia, but Baltimore took a liking to them. downey ocean? Surf City, here come the sharks. But "being is my life"? Like I said, the lyrics were a little shaky.

oh geez, way off-radar indeed!! I though I was the only person left on the planet who had actually ever heard of these guys. For 25+ years, I held onto a beat up 'Safety in Numbers' home-made cassette made for me by an air force buddy while we were in Germany (you know how it was--'oh man, you GOTTA hear this!!!!), hoping that one day I could find either an LP or CD. Bundled now with 'Animal Notes', and far superior, in my opinion. (come on, we were 21, and 'The Wall' was the end all to be all then);)

Also, they became favorites of the old 98 Rock DJ's (the music professors of my youth) who pushed hard to get them into the regular playlist. That's how they became a Baltimore band.

It has been so long since I have heard this song. Sitting in my office now, it seems like another lifetime! Definitely Beatle-ish, but a great tune regardless. Saw them once in that other life in a small club, standing right at the front of the stage with my buddies. What a show it was. It would be fantastic to hear more from Crack the Sky.

I just had RP on in the background at work, and all of a sudden I heard this song. I know that I had heard it before, but it was soooo long ago. Who is it? Go to the web page, and lo and behold, it's Crack the Sky! That was back in my college years that somehow seem to be foggy (for some reason). What great music they made, and their concerts were so very tight also. It was great to hear it once again, and I agree that something from Safety in Numbers would fit right in with the mix here. Keep up the outstanding work!
