Nathan Salzburg: Psalms [No Quarter]
Psalms is a collection of Hebrew psalms recorded by Louisville-based singer-songwriter Nathan Salsburg. He created the album with contributions from Will Oldham, Joan Shelley, James Elkington, Spencer Tweedy and Israeli singer Noa Babayof. “I wanted to do something Jewish, if only for myself,” said Salzburg in press materials. “It occurred to me that the psalms would be a great place to look at them because they are largely written in the first person and are part of what they are to be chanted. It was a wonderful, almost daily training. “
