Spiffy new collection of instrumentals from Innocence Missio

"Don Peris has taken a departure from his band The Innocence Mission to record a fine collection of gentle, melodic instrumentals featuring his excellent guitar work (and he plays nearly everything else too). These themes are by turns grand, nostalgic, quaint, romantic and beautiful. Don wrote just about all the tracks except for a lovely, meditative version of the Ravel Pavane. There are also a couple of vocal tracks along the way, "North Atlantic Sand," a duet with Karen Peris that could easily have come from an Innocence Mission album; and "Young As You Feel," with Denison Witmer. In all, Go When The Morning Shineth made for a very pleasurable listening experience."

"I love this beautiful cd!! Don's guitar is as it always has been - liquid, soothing, moving - but there is also a real joy expressed in these compositions. With or without the innocence mission, Don touches the heart."
