Free Music Review: I love this CD
Hit: 5 Stars
The more I listen to this CD, the more I love it. It is a great mix of traditional songs reworked in their own special way and their own new songs. I've seen this band live many times and have never been disappointed. I really like that they take turns with the vocals on different songs and each writes music too. They are a very talented group of musicians, the harmonies are just beautiful. I find that this CD has appeal for all age groups, my mother and my daughter both love it too. I can't wait for their next CD!
Riverside Battle Songs Poster
With the musical maturity of this sophomore release, Ollabelle extend their accomplishment of forging a singular style bridging folk and art songs from the talents of five singer-songwriters. While Amy Helm, daughter of the Band's Levon, boasts the highest-profile lineage, the two-woman, three-man band has the balance of a democratic collective, combining deep roots with soaring, sophisticated harmonies. "Troubles of the World," an elegiac reading of the traditional "Riverside," the call-and-response of "Gone Today," and the closing "Last Lullaby" reflect the spiritual underpinnings of the quintet's signature sound, but the stylistic range extends from the Caribbean lilt of the opening "See Line Woman" and the stately country waltz of "Heaven's Pearls" to the delta blues of "Fall Back" and the Celtic balladry of "Dream the Fall." Except for the lovesick "Blue Northern Lights" and the bittersweet delicacy of "Everything Is Broken," it's difficult to distinguish the band's arrangements of traditional material from the original songwriting that dominates. Larry Campbell, formerly of Bob Dylan's band, provides superb production and multi-instrumental support. --Don McLeeseCountry Music CDs
