On the surface a lyrical tribute to the cycle of the seasons, it also seemed an apt metaphor for life and aging. I enjoyed the sweet, peaceful feel of their music, and I appreciated its unique midwinter appeal. Here's an album perfect for the season. William Pint and Felicia Dale combine their voices in a tribute to the turning of the season. These winter songs include rarely heard Christmas songs, a 13th century French composition, and several songs ringing in the New Year.
Instrumentation includes a hurdy-gurdy, guitar, octave mandolin, whistle, and Irish drum.
Great listening on this one. A splendid Yuletide tribute bursts from this compact disc in living color. Northwest artists William Pint and Felicia Dale have created sounds to warm the darkest winter's night. Pint's voice is rich, full and resonant with the passion of a true bard of yesteryear. Hurdy-gurdy, guitar, mandolin whistle, and bodhran are nicely blended and well used.
