Before becoming a Christian in 1979 he made his living \"playing bars as a drummer\/vocalist in Texas, playing blues by ZZ Top, Johnny Winter and Zeppelin.\" In 1986 John Allen Garies (JAG) released his first independently recorded album mentioned earlier and it did open a door for him when attended a Whiteheart show and somehow made his way onto the Whiteheart tour bus and gave Billy his SHAKE IT OFF tape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBilly, impressed with what he heard, went on to produce 3 albums for the band, THE LONGEST ROAD (1990), THE ONLY WORLD IN TOWN (1991), and FIRE IN THE TEMPLE (1992).\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2606\/9196\/files\/jag-thelongestroad_large.png?v=1598325835\" alt=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2606\/9196\/files\/jag-thelongestroad.png?v=1598325835\u0026amp;width=700\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJAG - THE LONGEST ROAD\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTHE LONGEST ROAD (1990) \u003c\/strong\u003estarts off strong, with a very GIANT-like guitar intro and a serious Whiteheart-like rhythm. Again, the influence of both of these bands abound through the album. However, SHAKE IT OFF, that was on that 45rpm made it onto this album and sets it apart. It’s got a feeling and movement more like a great U2 song. The actual song on the 45rpm is the exact version that was already on this original CD however the CD version had an extra 15 seconds of guitar added to the end that the 45rpm did not have.  The 45rpm was 4:37 but the CD version was 4:52rpm. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLead Vocals: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJohn Garies (Jag)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLead Guitar:\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePaul Brittain\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eGuitars: Dale Oliver (1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDrums:\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eChuck Connor\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eRhythm Guitar \/ Keys:\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eJoel MeCreight\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eGuitars:\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDann Huff \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eon Shake It Off\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHighest Place\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Longest Road\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSmile Minded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShake It Off (From the 45rpm single (1989)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEmpty Spaces, Quiet Places\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e21 Reasons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFather Forever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEven the Hardest Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFollow His Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Other Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Girder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51705119834358,"sku":"olg1789817558819","price":9.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/4907\/6470\/files\/jag---fire-in-the-temple-cd-aor-hard-rock-whiteheart-giant-members_1.png?v=1789817563","url":"https:\/\/intentionalcladfit.shop\/products\/jag-fire-in-the-temple-cd-aor-hard-rock-whiteheart-giant-members","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
