Description
Naphtali is the fifth album by the American singer and songwriter John Fischer, released on Light Records in 1976. The album was recorded by Jerry Barnes at United Western Studios in Los Angeles, California; with Dan Collins producing. Arranged by Clark Gassman.
Naphtili continues in the ultra-mellow but well-produced soft-rock format of Still Life. A variety of easygoing moods, ranging from the climactic and richly orchestrated title ballad, to the slow lazy pop/jazz stroll of «We Are His Workmanship», to country-tinged CCM with steel guitar («Don’t Veil The Door», «Song For The Good Times»), to island tinged folk/pop («Work Out The Life») to classical string-backed acoustic ballad («Arise My Beloved»). Includes one song written and sung by Pam Mark Hall («Mary & Joseph»). [Ken Scott, The Archivist, 4th edition]
