"BOBBY STANTON: Shepherd"

“What a wonder! The album is just fabulous…Eminently listenable, innovative arrangements--especially the flamenco-like Tony-Botel.”
Norm Bleichman

“Shepherd is gorgeous, inspired...filled with the light of Christmas.”
Chet Manchester

Good music affects me so. Bobby Stanton's CD "Shepard" produced and orchestrated by Peter Link brought a big lump in my throat. BEAUTIFUL!!! I purchased two additional for my dearest friends.
Gene Burtner

“We listened to the CD and it is fabulous. I am such a guitar fan and the way the CD was produced the guitar stands out front and center. And I love being able to hear the strings being played - all the earthiness of the instrument - I find very comforting.
Joan Pederson

“I love listening to this CD while driving; all of the hymns are favorites of mine and his take on them is absolutely beautiful. I especially love the totally different sound on Satisfied; the guitar work is extraordinary! And the flamenco sound on the Ton-y-botel Suite is also beautiful. I also love the Western sound with the harmonica in Manna; it sounds so peaceful and comforting. A great addition to my CD collection! Thank you so much.”
Bonnie Wilson

I just finished listening to the Shepherd CD by Bobby Stanton. Totally inspiring! Different! Spiritually uplifting! Beautiful orchestrations! Superb sound! What more can I say - I love all the arrangements!”
Marion Miller

I recently purchased your recording of Shepherd Hymns and I can't tell you how much I enjoyed it. It was exquisite...so calming. The arrangements were outstanding. I do hope you will be making more in the future.
Corliss Ryan

I love the Shepherd CD. It brings a feeling of brotherhood with the different themes and it warms my heart. It is a happy feeling. Thank you.
Jerry Batley

Your "Shepherd" CD feeds my soul with divine energies. your arrangements bring in vibrant, fresh, energized interpretations. For the first week I owned the CD, I played it almost nonstop. I could not get too much of it! and I still can't.
Susan Brown

This is probably the best thing Bobby has ever done. The CD starts quietly, and gets better with each number. His grandfather in heaven must have heard his rendition of Danny Boy! (Oh Dreamer) I especially love the one that seems like a Spanish guitar. Each number is different and lovely. Kudos to you for the arrangements and to Bobby for the guitar. CD is well worth the money and should be publicized more.

Bio

You know me. You have heard me featured on NPR shows several times if you listen to shows like Garrison Keillor's "A Prairie Home Companion" or Dave Brubeck's music in "A Welcome Home Christmas". I have contributed articles in several international music publications including Guitar Player Magazine. I'm a graduate of Berklee College of Music and was awarded the first ever "Ovation" Award, presented by Bill Leavitt and Gary Burton. I studied with John LaPorta, Lenny Breau, and currently with Charlie Banacos. I have won songwriting awards from BMI and ASCAP. You may have seen me playing in a theater, an outdoor concert or a stadium. You may have heard my music on Television or radio. My "A Classic Guitar Christmas" has sold well all over the world. Check out "Shepherd", my latest release on "Watchfire" records. I will be in New York recording an album in September. I recently orchestrated a Broadway musical about the OK Corral called "Sundown". I have lots of new music for you to listen to. Some of the people I've played with are: James Taylor Garrison Keillor Mark O'Connor Richie Havens Gillian Welch Greg Leisz Rhonda Vincent and the Rage Mollie O'Brien Robin and Linda Williams Peter Ostroushko Trini Lopez Del Shannon The Shirelles Bo Diddley Maurice Starr Martha Reeves Matt Glaser Susan Tedeschi Dave Dudley Dick Curless Faron Young Ferlin Husky Fabian The Crystals Mike Ried Livingston Taylor Sam Harris The Tokens Bill Carlson The Drifters TH and the Wreckage Leslie Gore Little Anthony The Diamonds Pee Wee King The Shangralas Kate Taylor The Coasters The Marvelettes The Platters Toy Caldwell Sammy Kreason Gary Pucket Dave Mallet Big Al Downing Billy J.
