Description
Another Dawn is an album by the American singer and songwriter Frank Dumin, released on Avant Garde Records in 1971. The album was recorded in both the US and the UK; at Knickerbocker Sound Studios in New York and at Recorded Sound Studios in London, respectively, with Clay Pitts producing. Mixed at A&R Recording Studios i New York. Arranged by Pitts and Derek Ware. Conducted by Johnny Pearson.
A most excellent collection of moody wistful folk/pop songs that in a perfect world should have sat beside guys like Nilsson and Scott McKenzie. The delicate pop orchestration and instrumental variety (including organ, harpsichord, flute, jangly electric guitar) even bears a touch of the UK mod flower power scene as they embellish Frank’s quiet dreamy vocals. Searching lyrics portray a young man’s spiritual journey, a theme carried along by titles like «Dark Side Of The Moon», «Since The First Time», «The Pleasure Of Your Company» and «Seventh Day». Closes with the familiar «Prayer Of St. Francis», beautifully set to new music by Frank. Yet another Avant Garde triumph. [Ken Scott, The Archivist, 4th edition]
