'Diminutive acoustic singer-songwriter, Carol Lee Sampson has an almost indefineable, but magical formula when it comes to penning good 'tunes', and her lyrics are both mature and heartfelt.'

A MESSAGE FROM GORDON HIMSELF.......
For many years now I have been of the opinion that many of my tunes would make good songs (the
Zombies being a prime example) or in some cases hymns. Well, this idea has finally come to fruition
in the form of a Gospel album with lyrics supplied by my friend the Reverend Martin Green, who is
himself a fine guitar player who has even built his own guitars, and the wonderful Carol Sampson.
Carol is an outstanding singer songwriter and between her and Martin have transformed many of my
pieces (ancient and modern) into modern day Gospel songs.
On the 18th of August the three of us found ourselves in delightful recording studios in the beautiful
village of Breedon. Our engineer on the Day was a young guy called Dave Draper, a brilliant engineer full of enthusiasm for all that he does. I look forward to working with him again.
On a personal note, I believe that all music that touches us is of a spiritual nature and stands outside
the confines of faith or religion. Those of you who have followed my career since the mid 70’s
will know that I have always embraced and have been fascinated by projects of this nature. The
Visionary album and The Brotherhood being I believe prime examples. This project is an extension of
the journey.
