"A Shining Light Of Love And Grace"........2002-04-11

After an absence of almost thirteen years, Hamilton Camp RETURNED to the world of music with this SUBLIME album, filled with songs notable for their understated eloquence. This album was released in honor of his late "sister", Mardi. While she was in her last stages of terminal cancer, Hamilton visited her daily, giving her a "personal concert" each time. Shortly before she died, she awoke to greet him with "Ahh..here is my BARD!" hence the album's title. After her demise, Camp felt an overwhelming urge to return to the recording studio. The result is this album. Of particular interest is the remake here of his late sixties hit "Here's To You", given an altogether DIFFERENT artistic approach from the original recording. In contrast to the light and breezy approach of the original version, THIS has a much more tender, almost fragile beauty to it-quite moving! Altogether, I found listening to this album to be an experience like nothing I've enjoyed from any other artist of late. In the words of Camp, it truly emits "A shining light of love and grace".
