Billy & Sandra Stinson - The Merchant's Ship (1974?)

 




















Set aside all those presumptions about husband-wife albums because The Merchant’s Ship is a simply magical recording of dreamy edge folk, not unlike one of my all-time favorite groups Shekinah. Solemn melodies, moving harmonies, lucid acoustic guitar (sometimes with classical influences), deep mellotron backing, and sharp production all join hands in creating a lush impressionistic beauty. Other non-typical instruments include dulcimer, zither, melodica, moog and bongos. All songs written by Billy Stinson, the titles being ‘Pack Your Things’, ‘Thief In The Night’, ‘Sheep’, ‘Last Masquerade’, ‘Merchant’s Ship’, ‘Arise And Go’, ‘Hungry’, ‘Jerusalem’, and ‘Shepherd’s Song’. Recorded in North Carolina. (Ken Scott - Archivist)
