“Let your love be a sea moving between the shores of your souls…” “Truth, Love & Understanding” are the foundation upon which the marriage of singer/songwriter Amanda West and multi-instrumentalist/producer Pete Solomon is based. The two musical artists wrote, recorded and produced this album in celebration of their wedding in 2010, and the songs and music have since been used by many others for their own wedding ceremonies. Textured melodies offer an exquisite blend of guitar, piano, banjo, vocals and percussion while lyrical themes circle desire, commitment, and blissful love. The second track, "Before I Came Along", features the brothers of the Santa Fe based folk orchestra, Round Mountain: Char Rothschild on accordion and Robby Rothschild on Kora (West African harp). The third track "Togetherness" is inspired by Khalil Gibran's writings on marriage from his work, "The Prophet". This EP was originally printed as a limited edition, and is now available for digital download. ----------------------------------- FROM THE LINER NOTES... ----------------------------------- ~ the stars have aligned ~ Created with Reverence & Gratitude for Truth, Love & Understanding and for One Another by Amanda West & Pete Solomon ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ released September 23, 2010 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ RECORDED AT Grandview Studios, Felton, CA and Bear Creek Studios, Bonny Doon, CA ~ Summer 2010 ~ MUSICIANS - * AMANDA WEST - vocals, guitar, harmonies & banjo * PETE SOLOMON - grand piano, saxophone, vocals, cajon, keys & percussion and Special Guests: ROUND MOUNTAIN ~ * ROBBY ROTHSCHILD - kora * CHAR ROTHSCHILD - accordion ARTWORK BY Elizabeth Jonasson ~ May the Spirit of Music be ever present on our Journey and yours ~
