Xit - Drums Across the Atlantic (1996)

Motown released two Xit albums in the '70s, both of which Sound of America Records has reissued. This, their third SOA release contains three tracks from the previous reissues: "War Cry," "Coming of the Whiteman," and one of their best, "Christopher Columbus." Other interesting cuts include "Reservation of Education" with its spoken intro, "Cement Prairie," an eerie depiction of life on an Indian reservation, and the aggressive, in-your-face rocker "Young Warrior." "Color Nature Gone," another rocking tune, motors along propelled by a spirited drummer. A conversation piece, Xit's day might still be yet to come, but this album consists of both rockers and conscious Native American songs.
