Add Date: December 6 

Artist: Goldmund 

Album: All Will Prosper 

Label: Western Vinyl 

Genre: Folk 

Comments: From the promoter: "Keith Kenniff creates ambient electronic music under the moniker Helios, shoegazey indie rock with Mint Julep and stripped down post-classical acoustica as Goldmund. All Will Prosper is his fifth release as the latter and exemplifies, as all his releases do, an ability to delicately hold the listener whilst pushing and maintaining an uplifting, yet sometimes melancholic, mood. The LP is set against a backdrop of Civil War history and culture, with 14 of the 15 tracks being Civil War-era covers. Fresh and intimate, gripping and inspiring, All Will Prosper is a fresh take on a collection of historically significant songs."

These are beautiful instrumental renditions of period tunes, mostly centered around the piano. Start with "Shenandoah", "Dixie", "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" and "Amazing Grace".
