Benedict, Nebraska native Bill Boswell is a prolific songwriter who is releasing his second full-length album, ‘Come Away My Beloved’, in November 2022 on CD and digital distribution platforms. The album features a large band of guest musicians and Boswell’s family members to expand the sound of his folk, rock and gospel-tinged original songs.
Tone Tree Audio, LLC recorded, mixed, and mastered the songs between winter 2021 and summer 2022 at Encore Performing Arts Studio in Kearney, Nebraska. Tone Tree Audio previously worked with Boswell on his first album, ‘Living Voice, Living Word, Living God’ in 2021.
Of special note on this second album, Boswell discovered a decades-old cassette tape featuring his mother Marilyn Boswell singing the song ‘Come Away My Beloved’. To honor Whitney, her performance is featured along with a new version sung by Bill’s daughter Emily Whitney.
