Description
There are many geographical areas of this country experiencing a renaissance of pagan thought, magical practice and spiritual music. One of these places, believe it or not, is Nashville, Tennessee, most commonly known for its commitment to country music. This area of the country also produces however, many fine pagan poets and musicians, not the least of whom is B. Willie Dryden.
Born in Raleigh, N.C.,B. Willie as he is widely known, moved to Nashville in the early 1970s. He has worked in Nashville's music scene as a studio musician for several major labels and was member of such bands as "The Harlequins" and the legendary "Beat Poets."
Several years ago, B. Willie began a journey of the spirit that has led him to discover the divine within himself and within the world around him. "Blessed Be" followed by "Leap of Faith" which he released in 1998 and 2001, chronicle this spiritual journey in B. Willie's distinctive style. He embraced the ideas of love, deity, honor, ritual and the craft musically and enhanced the tone and flavor of the project through the poetry of local Nashville poets like Brian Jester, Gwendolyn Cashion, Rowena Whaling, and "Lord Solitare."
Coming full circle "Path of No Return" represents the maturation of that spiritual vision. "Path of No Return" winds its way through the soul's spiritual journey with songs like "Midnight Rain," "The Good Witches Waltz," "Cemetery Road" the haunting "I'll Fly Away" and the title track, "Path of No Return." B. Willie's mastery of the guitar and keyboards to create a web of melodic fantasy that weaves around B'Willie's own unique vocal renderings that express the thoughtful, and yet unflinching character of his work.
This CD is a testimony in music of spiritual longing, learning and illumination that should not be missed by any seriously committed pagan or lover of spiritual music.
