WHAT A HOOT!

In Canada, in the buurt of Toronto, the ground is apparently fertile. Many artists leave of from that to be musical break out wings. This way also with Jennifer Hale, briefly Jeff called, and Neva Tesolin, which both cooperated after separate musical omzwervingen, around this album. Both ladies sing with complementary votes, which vary the songs and give an own tone nature. Canadian instrumentalists, supposedly the bests from the region of Saint, accompany Catharines to Toronto them at their debut album, geproducet by Paul Mills, which can Award write winner on its palm ares. Not that the ladies were already not long from senile leg with music. Jeff their own fresh songs Hale, gitarist and leadzangeres, and Neva Tesolin, pianist/accordion, write himself. Jeff throw themselves kindest already singing separately in elegant danstunes, cajun, ..old time' or folky pubsongs with inspiration source from daily living or followed on to family links. Neva Tasolin zoekt it more in Celtic evocations, of picturale landscapes, Kerry, Wales, to the myths of the seasons, the maanmysterie or harvest impressions. ..The Fisher and Me', ..The Daughters' and the instrumental ..Llanwrtyd Wells and Ponies' are all of its hand and treasons rootsy Celtic lichtinval. Its piano pianospel, traditional training as from its seventh year, verwijlt in the fencer area between sparkling and sublime. Jeff Hale, which play already on school in a band drunk, on its Martin jet ear as if this hair first toy was. Moreover she has to the ideal voice both its own laconic ..Turning 40 and their common frame ..Dirty Work' strongly. And generally also loving at the more romantic songs. For the feeërieke test Neva even ended up for the, Jessie, just as Halifax concerning to examine the delicate female nuances with violoncello accompaniment. If you listen to the ladies, wonder yourself you inevitably if distant ancestral Celtic blood is still for sparkling. Playfulness, irony, melancholia, poetry, fight all for primacy. The bandsmen anticipate perfectly on the mind polls of the ladies. Except contrabassist bobsleigh Hewus are notable Stubbs also Curly Boy, as he gives with mandoline or banjo present. And its percussion on the instrumental ..Llanwrtyd Wells' turns this number into of my favorites, beside the mythical ..The Daughters', that with piano, violoncello and the violin arrangements hurry themselves liturgical strike as. It had be not yet clear. This Toronto-album refresh as a sea where the songs concerning each other tumbles as the golves on the Irish coasts, none the same but all propelled by the same strength, these of the sound in ebb and rising tide.
