Sparks of Ancient Light

Al Stewart's new album is infused with a theme of "certainty and uncertainty." Grammy award winning producer Laurence Juber teamed with Al for the fourth time to produce this album on which Laurence's virtuoso guitar playing and instrumentation again perfectly match Al's peerless trademark songwriting. Each of the dozen tracks is a newly-cut gem that Al has set in its own time and place. There are tales of ancient adventure on the high seas; Elvis behind the wheel; a football hero having an interesting day; a sensuous street corner; the Shah; and a very, very angry bird. SPARKS OF ANCIENT LIGHT - a radiant and stellar collection of songs about love, loss, exploration, revelation, and history.
