Live at Perthshire Amber is a captivating album by the talented Scottish musician, Julie Fowlis. Recorded live at the prestigious Perthshire Amber festival, the album features some of Fowlis' most popular tracks, along with a few new tunes.
The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Puirt-a-Beul Set", a traditional Gaelic mouth music piece that showcases Fowlis' incredible vocal range and control. From there, the album takes listeners on a journey through Scotland's rich musical heritage, with tracks like "Mo Ghruagach Dhonn" and "Biodh An Deoch Seo 'N Laimh Mo Ruin" transporting listeners to the windswept hills and misty glens of the Scottish Highlands.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Lon-dubh/Blackbird", a stunning duet between Fowlis and Irish singer Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh. The two voices blend together seamlessly, creating a hauntingly beautiful sound that is both powerful and emotive.
Throughout the album, Fowlis' band provides the perfect accompaniment to her vocals, with expertly played instruments including guitar, fiddle, and percussion. The musicianship is top-notch, with each member of the band bringing their own unique style and flair to the music.
