Album Notes
You might recognize “Salmond” as the last name of producer Roy Salmond who seems to be a recurring personality in Signpost projects. Well… several of us have known for years that Roy’s wife Gayle is a gifted songwriter and singer in her own right, but that she has been mis-spending her life teaching children instead of singing her songs for us (kidding of course). However, the time has come and Gayle has released her debut CD. Reminiscent of Emmy Lou Harris and Sam Phillips, Gayle has her own voice as a singer and songwriter, revealing a unique intuition within an orthodox faith. Particularly arresting are her songs Sophia, a gorgeous hymn to Wisdom personified in Christian tradition as the woman Sophia, and The Lorica, an adaptation of St. Patrick’s Trinitarian prayer of the same name. Incidentally, The Lorica also appears on my new album Devotion.
