The Wailin' Jennys - Bright Morning Stars
Review by Anders Djurhuus
Bright Morning Stars, the fourth album from the Canadian folk trio Wailin' Jennys, is a beautiful and soulful collection of songs that showcases the group's impeccable harmonies and musicianship. The album features a mix of original compositions and covers, all of which are infused with the Jennys' unique blend of folk, country, and gospel influences.
The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Swing Low Sail High," which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its lush harmonies and sparse instrumentation. Other standout tracks include the upbeat "Cherry Blossom Love," the tender ballad "Storm Comin'," and the gospel-infused "Bright Morning Stars."
Throughout the album, the Jennys' voices blend together seamlessly, creating a sound that is both ethereal and grounded. Their arrangements are simple yet effective, allowing the focus to remain on the vocals and the emotional weight of the lyrics.
