Redemption
Road is the second CD of the Utah-based group, Northern Voices.
The Shadow Mountain release features the lead vocal talents of some
of Utah and the Rocky Mountain West's finest singers, including
John McVey, Nancy Hanson, Brett Raymond, Peter Breinholt, Kalai,
April Meservy, Rob Wannamaker and Hilary Weeks. Produced and arranged
by Sam Cardon, this musically eclectic album of 13 songs features
songs written by Cardon and long-time lyricist collaborator, Don

forgiveness, to friendship and to the wondrous influence that love,
hope and redemption can have amidst the rough and tumble of life.
The songs are at once fun, joyful, and romantic, all set against
a very "listenable" musical landscape.

About Northern Voices Their debut CD, Faithful, released in 1994, yielded three national radio airplay songs, including “If She Only Knew” (sung by Brett Raymond), which cracked the Top 40 on The Gavin Report Adult Contemporary chart, and “Faithful” (sung by Elizabeth Wolfgramm of The Jets), which earned a positive review in Billboard. A third single, “Tell Me I’m Not Wrong Again,” also received national airplay. On Northern Voices’ second CD, Redemption Road, Brett Raymond once again provides vocals, including the title track, “Redemption Road,” as well as on the funky and fun, “She Got Cha-Cha.” Though familiar to the music world, Northern Voices newcomers include John McVey (“Dance Upon Orion,” “Silent Night, “Lonely Night,” “Come to Know,” and “What Love Reveals”), Hilary Weeks (“Goodnight, Bordeaux”), Nancy Hanson (“Jack and Jill”), April Meservy (“For You”), and Kalai (“This High Road”). Also providing vocals on Redemption Road are blue-eyed soul man, Rob Wannamaker (“Late, Great L.A. Boys”) and the popular New Folk/Americana artist, Peter Breinholt (“Mother Lode”). Redemption Road assembles fresh, energetic talent and combines that talent with songs that dig deep and tell real stories. The result is absolutely stunning. As a songwriter I'm going to work another 20 years and hope to write a song like "Come to Know." When you speak of the immense talent and the amazing musicians that live and breathe and work right here in our own backyard, you have no idea what's out there until you hear his record. It will blow you away. -Tyler
Castleton Review of Redemption Road "REDEMPTION ROAD" has a sophisticated sound, a jazzy, bluesy, pop feel that reaches right out to pull you in. Produced and arranged by Sam Cardon, it bears his distinctive mark, but it also represents a collaboration of other exceptional talent. The songs were written by Cardon and Don Stirling, with help on selected numbers from John McVey, Brett Raymond and Nancy Hanson. Featured vocalists include McVey, Raymond and Hanson as well as Peter Breinholt, Kalai, April Meservy, Rob Wannamaker and Hilary Weeks -all recording artists in their own right. That mixture adds variety to a collection of songs already filled with eclectic variation. There are songs filled with sweet emotion and plaintive poignancy (McVey's "Dance Upon Orion" or Hanson's "Jack and Jill," for example). There are those that get the feet tapping and the senses stirring (as when Wannamaker wraps his voice around the lyrics to "Late, Great L.A. Boys" or Raymond kicks in with "She Got Cha-Cha"). There are songs of goodbye (Weeks' lovely "Goodnight Bordeaux") and those about staying (McVey again on "What Love Reveals"). Spanish-sounding guitars complement Breinholt's vocals on "Mother Lode," while full-bodied orchestration adds to the background on another McVey number, "Come to Know." Meservy serves up a smooth, sultry sound, while Kalai's voice slides like silk through the lyrics. Cardon's "Redemption" theme from the movie "Brigham City" is the only instrumental offering, and it caps things off with a soft, moody feel. From start to finish, the album is filled with emotion and meaning. |
