專輯介紹：
Prayer Of The Woods can be seen as a musical interlude, or personal tangent, between Great Lake Swimmers albums by the band s lead singer and songwriter, Tony Dekker. Sparsely recorded and quickly realized, it takes a quiet and intimate approach: a ghostly reminder of the first Great Lake Swimmers recordings, and a stark portrait of a Canadian troubadour. Herein find songs of geographical reference ('Somewhere Near Thunder Bay'), contemplations of mortality ('Final Song'), finding spirituality in the natural world ('Prayer Of The Woods'), and ongoing existential crisis ('Hearing Voices'). There are new interpretations of a couple of classics here: 'Land Of The Glass Pinecones' and 'Carefree Highway.' The title track is based on an anonymous poem of Portuguese origin that has become known in forest reserves throughout North America.
Prayer Of The Woods was chronicled in two parts during June 2013 at the historic St. Brendan s Church in Rockport, Ontario. It was recorded and mixed by Justin Nace, with additional overdubs and tracking at the House Of Miracles in July. All of the instruments and vocals were played and sung by Tony Dekker, including guitars, accordion, mandolin, piano, pump organ, Hammond B3, mellotron, harmonica, autoharp, and percussion. It was mastered at the new House Of Miracles by Andy Magoffin, now located in Cambridge, Ontario.
