Family conversations. The smell of freshly cooked dinner. Candle light and sparkling dinnerware. But what background music can be acceptable for such a special occasion?

We Gather Together: 14 Thanksgiving Hymns is a special CD for Thanksgiving. It features 14 beautiful songs. The longest one is 4:29 minutes long.

Each tune starts with guitar solos and builds into a richer song that features “hammered dulcimer, mandolin, fiddle…, accordion, autoharp and penny whistles,” according to the Amazon review. This album was made in 2011 by Craig Duncan.

The music is a soothing melody with a subtle religious feel. There are no words in the music which makes it relaxing without being distracting to conversations.

I like music with words, but if you need to relax, then this album is for you. I found this CD very nice, but it isnt something I would listen to on a daily basis.
