Francisco Bawdon Rivera is a 46 year veteran of music making and it shows on this well written psalm-style folk single entitled "The Serenity Prayer." The first thing that grabs you is the intimate and timeless quality of Mr. Rivera's voice. It doesn't take long after that to notice the power of the words of the Serenity Prayer, which come across naturally as lyrics in this arrangement. A great guitar progression and classic sound round out the experience, as it is easy to see that the relationship between Francisco's vocals and his guitar have been well polished for quite some time. Another great quality to this track is a subtle story-teller quality that is delivered in such a natural way by Francisco as he sings this prayer. The intimate quality of the recording will make you feel as though you are right in the same room with the artist. If you enjoy spiritually-driven folk with a light and positive quality, pick up this track.
