The blues-tinged, ruggedly individualistic songs of William Brooks are embroidered with the kind of detail and personal experience that make the singer-songwriter genre so personal and soulful. he title track "Wings of Hope" is a surprisingly uplifting and joyful meditation on death, while "Hideaway" is a gorgeous ballad about both love and isolation, and features a lovely cello performance by Julia Kent (Rasputina). Silent Wings also features some great guitar work from Jon Gordon (Madonna, Suzanne Vega), saxophone from Baron Ramonde (Rod Stewart) and track 7, "Justified" was co-written with Rick Moody, author of The Ice Storm.
