Promised Land

VINYL FORMAT. Promised Land sees Gregory Webster visiting matters of the heart, utilizing the acoustic-based sound familiar to those who have seen his regular PopFest performances in recent years. Although never foolish enough to adopt the mannerisms of another culture as his own, Webster's love of American folk and country greats such as Willie Nelson and Hank Williams clearly shines through. In fact, the B-side is a radically different interpretation of Williams' lesser-known classic "Won't You Sometimes Think of Me?". Simplicity rules throughout, complementing the naked honesty of the songwriting. Webster's signature 12-string sound is augmented by haunting harmonium accompaniment from The Birthday Girl (Vatican Cellars) and beautifully uplifting vocal flourishes provided by Pam Perry of Slumberland's own legendary Black Tambourine. As Webster dreams of love away from the glare of city lights, take a ride out to the country with him on this beautifully packaged return to vinyl.
