Recorded in Nashville and produced by Jim Rooney, GENTLE AS THE SUN is Naomi Sommers’ most recent album, featuring Naomi’s trusted family and friends, and released on her Father’s American Melody label. “Naomi Sommers is a dreamer’s find…a lamp lighting the way to the most heartfelt songs I’ve heard in a long time… Deep, rich, melodic; the tunes carry you to a wonderful place and her warm voice touches parts of you long forgotten or long ignored.” Virginia MacIsaac – Rambles, a cultural magazine
