Product Description
Gordon Giltrap is famous the world over for his unique guitar style, which does not easily fall into any set genre of music. An eclectic mixture of classical, rock and folk that would be suited to a church hall as much as a rock concert arena. He is a fabulous instrumentalist, a master of his craft, and on this cd, he shows another side of himself with a cd of Christian faith songs, strongly spiritual and extremely listenable.
His collaborators on this album are Carol Lee Sampson, known for her many worship cd's, and Reverend Martin Green, a Warwickshire clergyman and guitarist.

Format:Audio CD
I first heard Gordon Giltrap perform, back in 1969, at a lunch time concert organised by the Rev. Jack Filby at St. Helen's Church, Bishopsgate, London. I have followed his career with great interest ever since. In those early days Gordon was a singer/songwriter as well as a master guitarist and his repertoire included several songs on spiritual themes, among them "Gospel Song", "Gethsemane" and "Miracle". Now, in a sense, his career has turned full circle with the release of the present album which adds Christian lyrics to some of Gordon's familiar instrumental compositions. Carol Lee Sampson provides the vocals and the Rev. Martin Green provides the lyrics. I think that the quieter and more reflective tracks are the most successful, among them "Under a Blue Sky" and "Walk Beside Me", though I also enjoyed the more up-tempo "Love Wins". My overall favourite is "A Christmas Carol", which some enterprising congregation might like to attempt as part of a carol service. Gordon's best known tune "Heartsong" turns up in a new guise as a song of praise and Martin Green provides two spoken word tracks based on New Testament passages. Christian music lovers should appreciate this collection of insightful spiritual songs while other Gordon Giltrap fans will, hopefully, enjoy hearing some familiar tunes in an unfamiliar setting. Recommended.
