Ok, what do you say about a CD that has no words. It can be a little hard to communicate what the CD is about or what it is trying to tell you. Holy Mountain Music is the new CD from one of our best selling artists, Fr. Edward Richard (the Banjo Priest). Fr. Richard said he had wanted to do an instrumental CD for sometime and had been gathering up his favorite tunes from old bluegrass pioneers like Bill Monroe, Flatt and Scruggs, and The Stanley Brothers. Fr. Richard says these are songs he remembers from an early age and he has always loved them. The instrumentals always had a place in his heart. There is something in these songs that speaks to you spiritually. The music is both peaceful and full of life and energy. It reminds you of God’s creations. “Many people see music as a means of communication and I am no exception,” says Fr. Richard. ” I believe that music is a genuine wellspring of renewal and spiritual energy like water flowing down from the mountain. I also see it as a great gift from God, a gift which is to be shared with family and friends and even a stranger who just happens to like it.” While many of the songs are bluegrass classics, like “East Tennessee Blues,” “ Cripple Creek,” “Jerusalem Ridge,” and “Ashville Breakdown,” Father does add a few of his original songs. Those are “Banjo In The Hills” and “Holy Mountain Breakdown. “ Holy Mountain Music is one for your collection.
