October 21, 2009, New York - Rachel Faro and Silverwolf Records are proud to
announce the North American release of ‘Windsong’, an album produced and
performed by legendary singer/songwriter Rachel Faro. It is a rich offering of
stunning lyrics, great melodies, world-class musicianship and high-quality
audio. Cultivated and nourished over a period of twenty years, “Windsong” sounds
as clear and timely as if it had all been recorded in 2009. This album is a time
capsule whose moment to break open has finally arrived.



Rachel Faro’s songs express a global perspective, both musically and lyrically.
“Windsong”, with its signature dulcimer sound, and the anthem “This Shall
Endure” encourage us to have vision and heart during these dark times. Celtic,
country, folk and blues stylings are flavored by Indian instruments such as the
sarangi and bansuri bamboo flute. Lyrics adapted from poetry by ancient Chinese
poets mingle with the sound of an Irish orchestra in ‘Dagger Dance’; ‘Touch of
the World’, a song of edgy passion, contains both Indian clay pots and guitar
feedback . And yet the production never sounds contrived; it all falls together
quite naturally, with an uplifted and a harmonious quality throughout.



Featured musicians include guitarist Robben Ford, bassist Fernando Saunders,
bansuri bamboo flute player Steve Gorn, oboe master Paul McCandless,
composer/pianist Bill Douglas and multi-instrumentalist Joe Mennonna, who seems
capable of playing almost every instrument possible, from saxophone to piano to
accordion to flute.



Rachel will be touring throughout 2009/10 both as a solo artist and with a small
ensemble. Please check
