The albums sold out & No other band in the history of music has ever accomplished this success with fans combined
with record shop unity!
BRIGHTBLACK MORNING LIGHT's 2008 long play album: "Motion To Rejoin" was
recorded with 4 solar panels "Against nuclear & coal power "
& celebrated in a variety of USA & Inter-National Press:
#2 in the UK Guardian's Top Alternative Albums of 2008.
The cover of the band's Lp features a photograph from a Gulf Of Mexico
canoe trip by he & music assistant R. Hughes.
Song favorites include "Gathered Years" & "Oppressions Each" both featuring
authentic gospel singers from Tennessee.
While Southern derived, jazz mingles with Alabama & California inspirations.
