Denison Witmer : of joy and sorrow CD

Denison Witmer : of joy and sorrow (btv040). Witmer's second full-length finds him continuing in a time-honored tradition delivering strong. introspective confessionals without a hint of cynicism or pretension. While Witmer's music is rooted in the folk tradition. and while fans have been drawn to his strong vocal style and impeccable taste for simple guitar work. Of Joy & Sorrow demonstrates that Witmer's ear bends far beyond genre lines. Here are ten honest songs with all the makings of great pop tunes. without loosing an ounce of the conviction that has always been Witmer's greatest hook. Of Joy and Sorrow was recorded during various trips to Seattle WA with a bit of work from home in Pennsylvania. Witmer paired up with Blake Wescott. Jordan Walton (Damien Jurado). and Don Peris (The Innocence Mission) as engineers with help on instrumentation and backing vocals from Don. Blake. Karen Peris (The Innocence Mission). Benjamin Brubaker (ex-Pedro the Lion). and Daniel French (Ran Away to Sea).
