Ben Weatherby - Our Lady Newfoundland

Review by Elena Chiorino

Our Lady Newfoundland, the latest album by Ben Weatherby, is a delightful tribute to the rich cultural heritage of Newfoundland. Featuring traditional tunes and original compositions, this album is a must-listen for anyone who loves Celtic music.

The album opens with the cheerful and upbeat "The Jolly Tinker," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Weatherby's vocals are strong and clear, and his guitar playing is impeccable. The instrumental tracks, such as "The Lark in the Morning" and "The Kesh Jig," showcase Weatherby's mastery of the guitar and his ability to capture the essence of traditional Newfoundland music.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Bonny Lass of Fogo," a beautiful ballad that tells the story of a young woman from the island of Fogo. Weatherby's vocals are particularly emotive on this track, and the haunting melody lingers long after the song has ended.

Another highlight of the album is Weatherby's original composition, "The Newfoundland Song." This upbeat and catchy tune celebrates the unique culture and traditions of Newfoundland, and is sure to become a favorite among fans of Celtic music.
