Album Info

Release Date: 1972

Label: Phoenix Records

Once in a scarlet moon a truly novel idea rises above the scene of contemporary music. Sometimes it is a striking combination of tomorrow's new thing and yesterday's classic. Always it is an expression of the heart and soul of those whose times and talents have prepared and polished it for an anxious unveiling. THE SOUL OF POETRY is ll this and more.

Dick Davis, singer/guitarist/composer/arranger for the "THE D's," has taken lines of famous English and American poets and molded his music, to their greatness. By a tasteful blend of the soft/sweet/lyrical voice of DENIS, faultless interpretive style of Duane Hiatt (the other "D"), and the vocal/instrumental skills of all three. PHOENIX RECORDS now has the pleasant pleasure of offering the world a classic in the welding of music and literature.

If you're a poetry buff, come thrill to the musical excitement of "The Highwayman," melt with the gentleness of "Soft Rain," laugh aloud at the insanity of "Jabberwocky," and perhaps squirm a little at the insight of "Richard Cory." If your bias is musical, sit back and delight in the creative genius of Dick Davis' original melodies. If you love good music and good poetry, prepare yourself for an experience of pure joy. dss
