Description
Let the Son Shine is the sophomore album by the American singer and songwriter Marj Snyder, released on Discovery Records in 1972. The album was engineered by Dale Lear of Mustardseed fame with Bob Runyon producing. Arranged by Lear.
Let The Son Shine introduces light brass and string arrangements on the opening «Can’t Help But Sing», broadening Marj’s palette to now include folk/pop. Most of the songs, however, stay true to her simple acoustic origins. Includes eight of Marj’s songs, plus covers of Larry Norman’s «Sweet Sweet Song Of Salvation» (with kazoo) and Bob Dylan’s «I Shall Be Released». «Walk By Faith» supplies one of her steel-guitar country moods. Some of her most beautiful earnest ballads can be found in «And There I Sit», «Reach Out», «Rain», «Nothing But You» and Violin-backed «With My Lord». It’s amazing how much conviction and emotion carries through that soft gentle murmur of hers. [Ken Scott, The Archivist, 4th Edition]
