Description
Apple Tree is the third and final album by the American folk singer and songwriter Linda Rich, released on InterVarsity Records in 1975.
Five years later but her style hasn’t changed one bit. Half of Apple Tree‘s twelve songs are presented in a simple guitars-only acoustic format. Some like «The Jesus Blues» are enhanced with ornate leads from a second acoustic guitar. Classical strings appear on «Jesus Emmanuel» and «Sing Praise», woodwinds on «Bless The Lord», «Jesus Loves Me» and «The Lord Is Holy», flute on «Shells». «Stained Glass Windows» carries on in the tradition of Pattern’s title song: “Sun streaming through stained glass windows, colored shadows in a darkened room, red on brown — make colors sound, and give the peace of knowing You.” All three of Linda’s albums were sponsored by Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship and have inserts containing lyrics and guitar chords.
