William St. James - A Song For Every Mood [1973]

Artist: William Saint James

Year: 1973
Format: LP
Label: Dunhill

William Saint James were a Folk Rock trio consisting of Annie Willcocks (vocals), Bill Kirkland (vocals-twelve string acoustic guitar-piano) and Jim Wilson (vocals-six string acoustic guitar)

Also appearing on this album is Maury Muehleisen (lead acoustic guitar on “These Hands”), Eric Weissberg (lead acoustic guitar on “Lily” and mandolin on “Days Of The Gingham”)

Other musicians appearing throughout are Joe Macho (bass), Paul Rolnick (electric guitar), Terence Minogue (keyboards) Tommy West (keyboards), Arnie Lawrence (flute-saxophone) and Rick Marotta (percussion).

The album was produced by Terry Cashman and Tommy West with assistance from Terence Minogue with strings arranged and conducted by Pete Dino. (Note: Elder below compares this to Renaissance which is a good description, but it also reminds me of a long lost Curt Boettcher production.)

“A surprisingly upbeat record, given the period in which it was done, with elements that manage momentarily to evoke Renaissance in a folky mood. Cut seven years late stylistically, but still a sweet record.” (Bruce Elder)
