Description
Let It Shine is the debut album by the American mellow folk-rock trio Suncast, self-released in 1975, distributed by Sun Productions. The album was produced and engineered by Marshall Sanders at Pinebrook Recording Studio in Alexandria, Indiana. Arranged by Suncast except strings arranged by Sanders. Suncast features Jon Phelps, Lori Kraemer and Ted French.
Graceful acoustic guitar, piano and delicate breathy male/female harmonies bring a cozy wholesome quality to the ultra-soft folkrock trio of Jon Phelps, Lori Kraemer and Ted French. Their custom debut Let It Shine has some nice simple acoustic tracks, including «Let Him In» and the dreamy «Sunset». Electric guitar joins in for the title track which couples the melodies of «This Little Light Of Mine» and «Try A Little Kindness». Be warned, they can tend toward the royally mellow, especially on the occasions when those strings come creepin’ in («All My Trials», «Psalm 23», «The Disciple», «The Lord’s Prayer»). Some of those songs recall the smooth light style of Gamble Folk. Overall not bad, but better things lay in store. [Ken Scott, The Archivist, 4th Edition]
