Jon English - Wine Dark Sea
Review by Dimas wahyu
Wine Dark Sea, the album by Jon English, takes listeners on a musical journey through a range of emotions and styles. The album features a mix of rock, blues, and folk influences, with English's distinctive voice leading the way.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Six Ribbons", a haunting ballad that showcases English's powerful vocals. The acoustic guitar and strings provide a beautiful backdrop for the song's melancholy lyrics, which tell the story of a man searching for his lost love.
Another highlight of the album is "Wine Dark Sea", the title track. This bluesy number features a driving rhythm section and gritty guitar riffs, with English's vocals delivering the song's powerful message about the dangers of addiction.
