Philip Graham Haunting indeed! Top-drawer songwriting, singing and musicianship, serving up pleasure upon pleasure. Excellent folk-country rock, and an unusual concept: all the songs are inspired by the novels of Canadian writer David Adams Richards.
The more I listen, song by song, the more this album feels like a masterpiece. And damn, what a final lyric to cap it:
“When you come to the river
With everything you’ve loved
You will make a decision
To wade out and cross.” Favorite track: Face Your Hunters.

Clayton Giles Just a great album by a talented singer who writes haunting songs with a country-folk feel, but the music isn't easily classifiable.The backing musicians are consistently first-rate. This is an outstanding album. Favorite track: Fear in the Wild.

about

Symphony of Ghosts traces and strengthens the lines connecting music and literature. Inspired by the writing of David Adams Richards, each of the ten songs on the album focuses on a different Richards novel. Incorporating themes, characters, imagery, and language from Richards’ books, and produced by Jason Michael MacIsaac (Heavy Blinkers, Jenn Grant), this is a rich, layered musical homage to one of the greatest writers to come from Canada.
