Blyth Power - A Little Touch Of Harry In The Night
Review by Jeffrey Hollister
Blyth Power's album A Little Touch Of Harry In The Night is a refreshing and unique take on traditional folk music. The album features a collection of songs that are beautifully written and performed with a raw, authentic energy that is hard to come by in modern music.
The album's title track, "A Little Touch Of Harry In The Night," is a standout, with its haunting melody and powerful lyrics that tell the story of a young soldier's journey through war. Other tracks like "The Ballad Of Red Ken" and "The Old Woman And The Pig" showcase Blyth Power's ability to craft engaging and captivating stories through their music.
The instrumentation on the album is equally impressive, with a variety of traditional folk instruments like the accordion, fiddle, and mandolin adding depth and texture to the already rich sound.
