Of Spirit Sanctuary 6687 Isle Of Spirit is Bernice Lewis' second CD, following by five years her Open Lines And Signals. Dave Crossland, Adam and Ben Demerath provide some backing vocals.
Instrumental support includes drums, bass, accordion, piano, and fiddle, tastefully applied.
This is a very listenable album. But it is the quality of the lyrics and the range of topics that make this an outstanding album. Her earlier album emphasized marriage and women's issues. This is the story of a young married Jewish woman in Poland circa 1940. It is a heart wrenching song, not because of a pounding theme but because of how it picks up on threads that we know where they lead.
