Norman Luboff Choir - Songs Of The British Isles
Review by James Njuguna
The Norman Luboff Choir's album Songs of the British Isles is a beautiful collection of traditional folk songs from England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. The choir's rich, harmonious vocals bring these timeless tunes to life, and the album's polished production showcases the choir's talent and skill.
Listeners will be transported to the rolling hills of Scotland with tracks like "Loch Lomond" and "The Skye Boat Song," while "Danny Boy" and "The Last Rose of Summer" evoke the lush greenery of Ireland. The choir's rendition of "Greensleeves" is particularly noteworthy, with its haunting melody and intricate harmonies.
