Album Notes

Composer,vocalist and guitarist Patrick O'Rourke's new CD of original music......

Fingerstyle guitar and a transcendent voice form the foundation for this collection of 12 songs, ranging from the meditative "Shar'Shuun" (from which the CD title is taken) to the hauntingly subtle "Linda Hunter" to the passionate eros of "Opened Our Hearts to Truth" and the Celtic callings of "Patsy's Ghost" and "The Rose of Glencairn"......

Includes inspired musical versions of
Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken",

Samuel Tayor Coleridge's "Duty Survivng Self-Love",

the timeless "Prayer of St. Francis"

and Patrick's humble homage to
the late,great guitar Master, Michael Hedges,
"Love of Sages"......

with special guests:
Larry Moser on hammered dulcimer ("Patsy's Ghost")
and Ramona Machson, harmony vocals("Shar'Shuun")

Many Thanks for looking,
and may you find what it is you seek.....
