It has taken a few years for NY-based singer/songwriter David Goldman to release his second CD Light In The Tunnel. Early indications are that it has been well worth the wait. Where Summer With Juliet was a smorgasbord of international and American musical idioms, Tunnel is more rooted in songs strongly influenced by Celtic, Gospel, Blues and Folk traditions; it is David’s deeply personal journey across the darker landscape of the world today on the wings of a finely woven tapestry of voices and music.

The CD’s songs range from an homage to the Grand Canyon, a textured medley of American folk anthems, a Chicago blues romp, to a folk-rock song for a returning soldier. There’s also a bittersweet pop ballad co-written with pianist Robin Spielberg, two rousing gospel-inspired songs of human suffering, redemption and everlasting love, the haunting ‘She Won’t Sing Anymore,’ with soaring operatic and jazz-inspired vocals, and the finale, ‘Canyon Sunrise,’ a dream of reverberating voices, guitars, violins, accordions and bagpipes.

Light In The Tunnel is graced by the countermelodic harmonies of David and his stellar cast of vocalists (including Amy Speace, Elaine Caswell, Elza Müeller and the Shawn Lucas Choir), the sublime landscape echoes of guitarist Marc Shulman, Melissa Meell’s cello, Lisa Gutkin’s and Anna Leinbach’s violins, Jerry O’Sullivan’s bagpipes and many other aural surprises. Produced by David and Mark Dann, an assist from producer and A&R ace John McCracken helped put the finishing touches on this very special project.
