Whisperings at Nightfall
by Autumn17
"Here is yet another fine release produced by Will Ackerman. Even with some of the same outstanding guests, Robert Linton carves out a distinctive sound and his guitar playing fits well practically anywhere. The beginning, middle and ending tracks are each solo pieces, each with its own pensive, fluttering style, but for me it's the tracks that are embellished by some of the best artists in contemporary music that carry the album to stand on its own. For example, Eugene Friesen plays cello on two tracks, and they benefit greatly from his sensitive touch. Tracy Silverman is also heard twice, with stunning violin work, and Noah Wilding, who is also heard on Ackerman's “Hearing Voices,” adds his voice to two tracks as well. Keeping the Noah's ark theme alive, bassist Michael Manring is also hear on two selections. Fortunately, Will, who serves as co-producer with Corin Nelsen, appears only on one track; otherwise we would predict 40 days of you know what along with the pure joy of fine guitar playing in the company of others. We will definitely be hearing more from Robert Linton, and those who acquire this CD will be hearing plenty of “Whisperings at Nightfall” through repeated listenings."
