Description
Scarce original, sublime LP release from Rising Hope, Farewell To The Shadowlands, issued in 1975 (no label; LP S 726). LP and cover are in beautiful VG++ condition. Gorgeous lyric insert is also included.
Here’s Ken Scott’s review from Archivist:
“Besides coming up with one of the coolest album titles of all time (taken from the final chapter in C. S. Lewis’ ‘The Chronicles Of Narnia’), the Cincinnati trio of Michael Goldberg, Susan Goldberg, and Ross Johnson have managed to create a brilliant homemade release of contemplative acoustic/folk music. All three have nice soothing voices that harmonize well together (Susan sounds a lot like Debby Kerner, especially on the briskly strummed ‘Psalm 27’). Quiet and acoustic-oriented for the most part, with some flute, piano and folky percussion, plus banjo and jew’s-harp for ‘The Lord Will Be My Snowtires’, a novelty bluegrass side-trip. Mostly originals plus a couple Martin Bell songs (‘Secret Of The Stars’ and ‘Come Gather Children’). Includes a lovely minor-key track ‘Help O Lord’ that’s accompanied by flute and what sounds like a hammer dulcimer. Closes with the Narnia-inspired ‘Further Up’. Best cover art seen in years. Essential Jesus music classic.”
