Hollywood 1977 and Kieth Green - Rudy Trujillo's MySpace Blog |

Today I heard our youth pastor playing what he called old school music (Kieth Green) which he said was very powerful. After speaking with him I was reminded of my first exposure to his music, in 1977 I was hanging out in Hollywood with a girlfriend and another couple, we were doing the usual partying on a Friday night getting high and doing our thing; when we decided to go to the Record Store and check out the music, as I'm walking down the aisle I see an album cover with this cool looking dude holding up his finger with what look like the number one sign, it caught my attention because it was different from most of the covers back than: but what got me the most what the title of the album "For Him Who Has Ears To Hear" I remember thinking to myself as I read the cover "I got ears to hear, what you got to say?'

When I picked up the album and seen the back cover I was sold! Because I liked the ideal that he had a women with him and they were doing the sign of the cross each holding their finger to shape a cross. Back then I thought that was cool that a man & women were together and doing the God thing... My friend Eddie at the time asked me "What the 8&@#$%!!!!! you buying that for?" I didn't care what he thought or anybody else, I bought it and I remember going home that night wasted as can be by the time we got home and playing the album.

I would play that album like crazy and God used it to speak to me so many times; even when I would be loaded and out of my mind!

That album was so powerful that I still remember one time my brothers Ernie & Raul asking me to play that stuff where that dude would sing about God. Kieth Green was a pioneer that God used in music to touch a lot of us that were living a crazy life!

I didn't realize back then that God was calling me, I had heard the gospel because of a girlfriend who took me to a little coffee house, there they would preach and talk about how heavy God was, they would play Jesus rock and jam. That little place was a unique place back in the mid 70' as we would sit on the floor, some with bean bags other siting on the floor as was a common thing to do as we would gather and hear Jesus stories. The Solid Rock was unique to me because I didn't like church and all the religious stuff because it didn't make sense and there at the Rock you could let your hair down kick back and just let God speak as I would hear things I had never heard before...

God used Kieth Green to speak to me through his music.... Thank God for the 60' and 70's music that spoke about Jesus... My prayer today is that God would give us "Ears To Hear Again" and music that still speaks about and leads us to Jesus!

What ya doing buying that music!!!!!!!!!!
