The 1976 debut album and only album by American singer-songwriter Mark Henley, an ultimate rare album that only a very small number of die-hard folk fans have been able to enjoy. Songs such as 'Places And Old Friends', 'Full Moon Of April', and 'Strawberry Moon' seem to convey the warmth of a leisurely flowing river, touching the listener's lips and filling them with anticipation of the warm autumn sunlight. As the singer himself explains in his commentary, this is a message of love and hope that does not change over time.
Mary MacGregor, famous for 'Torn Between Two Lovers', an exquisite guitar ensemble with Michael Johnson, a simple and peaceful folk sound that combines acoustic sounds such as nylon guitar, steel guitar, mandolin, cello, violin, piano, harmonica, and conga. It is an album with a chorus of perfect harmony, and there is not a single song that is disappointing. If you want to lose yourself in the melancholy of fall, you should listen to this album. In addition, three rare songs that were almost impossible to find will be included as bonus tracks, making it an even more valuable gift.
