“Dedicated to the vision and reverence for all life inspired by St. Francis of Assisi,” BROTHER SUN, SISTER MOON is a collection of positive, life-affirming songs, some prayer-like in quality, led by Buddy Comfort’s warm, gentle baritone in mostly classic folk style, accompanied on keyboard (Warren Dennis Kahn), violin (Alasdair Fraser), cello (David Darling), Celtic harp (Margie Butler), soprano sax (Marcia Miget), and English hand bells (Kathie Fink).
Opening songs composed by Donovan Leitch, are accessible, and uplifting. ‘St. Francis and the Eagle’, one of several original compositions, is one of a number of jewels on this album, with beautiful heartfelt words and music, beautifully set. ‘Love is the Night’, is one of the most tender love songs you will ever hear – it gave me chills! A Tibetan monk chant-like setting of a Shaker hymn ‘What Wondrous Love is This’ is absolutely entrancing. A talented songwriter, I look forward to hearing more from this artist.

Actually discovered and downloaded your wonderful recording of "Brother Sun" after I read that Donovan has released his own 2005 version. Saw both on I-Tunes and between you and me, I prefer your versions :) I'm truly touched by your music and it's been very helpfull getting me through some rough time. Thanks!

Love it!
Buddy's rich and pleasing baritone voice is a tremendous boost to the admittedly schmaltzy Donovan songs from the film.
"What Wondrous Love..." I find this version haunting, contemplative, and appropriately somber. This was a "blind buy" that was well worth the risk. Fan of Francis? Buy this CD!

Beautiful, touching songs I've been seeking out for ages!
I saw the movie "Brother Sun Sister Moon" when I was much younger and while I vaguely remembered the film; the music haunted me for ages after. But it was to no avail that I could find it until cdbaby! These songs are fantastic; transending the categories of New Age or folk or soft vocals or even Spiritual music. There is a purity to these songs that just makes you feel calm and better about being alive. I am utterly thrilled to find this music again and can only say it would be a mistake you'll ever regret if you don't get a copy of this!

One of the best new age vocal albums released,
both in intent and performance. Guitarist/vocalist Comfort is committed to the use of song as a vehicle for world peace.

His soothing voice and simple arrangements encourage participation, particularly on the three instantly recognizable (and still appealing) Donovan songs from the unforgettably beautiful Zefferelli film of the same name.

Comfort's original compositions are just as
memorable; their gentle spirituality and reverent
warmth have universal appeal.
