Don McLean - Believers
Review by Charles Budd
Believers is the latest album by legendary singer-songwriter Don McLean. This album is a perfect blend of McLean's signature folk sound and contemporary rock elements. The album features 12 tracks, each of which showcases McLean's songwriting prowess and his ability to connect with his audience.
The album opens with the title track "Believers," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song is a powerful statement of hope and faith, and McLean's vocals are filled with emotion and conviction. Other standout tracks on the album include "Botanical Gardens," a beautiful ballad that showcases McLean's poetic lyrics and "To Have and to Hold," a catchy, upbeat song that will have listeners tapping their feet.
One of the most impressive aspects of this album is the way McLean has managed to stay true to his folk roots while incorporating modern production techniques. The result is a sound that is both timeless and contemporary. The instrumentation on the album is also top-notch, with McLean's acoustic guitar and piano being complemented by a variety of other instruments, including electric guitar, drums, and strings.
