Sweet Sound of Vineyard Music

This week we received The Best of Vineyard Sound, purchased from Peter Simon's website. The two-disc thirty track compilation features music recorded on the Vineyard over the past 25 (or so) years.


Some of the songs are well known classics, while others are new. Ben Taylor's melodic I Am An Island (click for free download of another cut) is a special solo/acoustic version that is beautiful. Also featured is Maynard Silva with Susan Tedeschi singing Stand On Your Head, a funny little tune that features a refrain "swimming in the nude" and Lucy Vincent's Levitate! which interweaves many local places on the Vineyard. Though the price of the album, $24.99 + shipping, is more than I would normally pay it is well worth every penny.
