notes

Released in 1971 and featuring the original version of WEDDING SONG, this acoustic-rock solo recording debut of Noel Paul Stookey borrows from a diverse sylistic palette; folk ballad, bossa-nova, classical and rock. The CD is sprinkled with Stookey's identifiable 'audio trademarks' (sound effects, inside musical references and a lightness of spirit) yet manages to maintain a sincere and inspirational musical message of redemptive Love.

    I could not believe I found this on CD, I had converted my LP to CD on the computer but it just didn't sound right. My husband and I had The Wedding Song sung at our wedding 28 years ago and he recently passed away. What joy my heart felt to hear it again sounding so good. Thank-You CD Baby and Paul Stookey for still keeping memories alive.

    Mellow, melodic, uplifting, downright beautiful music. Contains the hit 'Wedding Song', which has to be one of the finest works of music ever composed. Thank God for such good music.
