Description
Inland Sailor is the fourth album by the American singer, songwriter, and guitarist Brooks Williams, independently released on Green Linnet Records in 1994. The album was produced by Johnny Cunningham.
Featuring Brooks Williams on guitar and vocals, backed by a rhythms section consisting of Kent Allyn and Doug Plavin on bass and drums respectively, with Johnny Cunningham sitting in on fiddle. Includes “Won’t You Meet Me?”, a song written for the late singer/songwriter Mark Heard during the time that Mark was in a coma.
Here’s a Christian brave and talented enough to earn his keep in the common-or-garden normal music scene. You should check him out just ‘cos you ought to be aware of this superb talent. Fine guitar player, first rate singer/songwriter, his songs carry the aching wistfulness that goes along with struggles in fragile relationships and carry the sensitivity and skill needed to communicate truth about life’s experiences. Some songs are inspired by books and films, one outstanding track is «Won’t You Meet Me?» written for Mark Heard. “Written while he lay in the hospital, wondering how it will turn out for him”. So fans of Mark’s should check it out, as they say, just for this track. But it’s all rich quality and while his lyrics contain very little “gospel”, they will feed and nourish you very pleasingly «Promises Revisited» and «Navigator» are splendid solo guitar tracks. A wonderful album. [Tony May, Cross Rhythms, June 1994]
