Search - Sam Harris :: Revival

From the artist, Sam Harris: "Revival" sings of hope and promise and change. In making this CD, I chose songs that I've sung before as well as originals and classics that speak to me in a time when I think we are looking for inspiration. Songs that make me feel good to hear - and to sing. I hope that it does the same for you when you listen. I did new interpretations of classics like "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and "Peace Train," and wrote the title track, "Revival," reflecting my own journey. There are original songs like "The Circle" and "Don't Let The World Step On Your Soul" that fill out the heart of the record, a song I recorded on my second album called "The Rescue" that we did a new take on, as well as some obscure covers like Nona Hendryx's "Going Down Makes Me Shiver." I hope what we've created is a record of honesty and inspiration. Another factor in choosing the material was making sure they were songs I want to sing live. It was important that the CD to have that sound. I was lucky to get great people of like mind to play and sing with me. In other words, we picked great songs, we went in the studio and had a blast doing them - and suddenly there was this theme of hope clearly running through every one of them, whether they be serious, contemplative or pure abandonment. I guess it's poof positive that that's what I'm looking for in music to sing, to hear, and to present to you. I hope you like it.
