Harvest Wind: Singing the Gospel, Bluegrass Style Lamon Records Corporation PO Box 23625 Charlotte, NC 28227 www.lamonrecords.com www.harvestwindband.com c. 2007 Song list: Sunrise on A Sunday Morning, Old Wiley, Midnight Train to Memphis, This Veil Upon My Face, Ancient of Days, Prayer Bells of Heaven, Little Cowboy’s Dream, Little Bessie, Better Farther On, Harvest Wind. Harvest Wind is a family band with Revonda and Lonnie Roberts and son Justin Bowles joined by Robert McIntosh on bass. Revonda sings the lead vocals with a powerful heartfelt delivery that would fill a whole church. Her fiddle embellishes the lead offs on many songs and her 4 carefully crafted songs show a gift for storytelling combined with purpose. “Midnight Train to Memphis” is the gentle tale of a hope with Justin providing a fine accompanying guitar. “This Veil Upon My Face” is an admonition to the “river of death” to pass by. Revonda’s mother, Brenda Bowles, wrote “Little Cowboy’s Dream,” a tender tale of a dying child’s dream to ride the open range. The band’s instrumental work is top-rate, with Justin’s banjo and Lonnie’s mandolin showing crisp and succinct delivery.		More Information About This CD
