Synopsis

Album Description

The fifth release from Song of the Lakes, Poets Say, is a testimony of the versatility of the band. Traditional sounds of the Celtic Isles and Scandinavia keeps the band rooted in its own tradition. New sounds in new original songs takes the band into previously un-chartered territories resulting a mix of ballads, jigs, reels, chain gang song, almost country, and south American rhythms. With this project the band continues its quest to spread joy to its audience. This recording, with the band's creative song writing, musical arrangements, and strong delivery as cornerstones has brought the band to new heights. Recorded, mixed and mastered at Frontier Recordings in our home county it is a high quality product that does not compromise technical expectations of this day and age.

CD Reviews

Listen to this----and head straight for the North Atlantic

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Hey, I've been listening to the new CD and am very impressed with the range of musical styles and the originality of so many of the songs. Favorites so far are Poets Say, featuring a lovely flute descant "trippling" and some cool lyrics, wrapped around a melody that one wants to sing along with, over and over. Amberetta is a joy. Montreux could only be described as silky and sensual, moist....and somewhere in Europe. Castle Kelly/Coleraine lilts along ever so Celtically until it erupts into the passionate urgency that brings to mind ancient rituals of sacrifice on smoky, dark ledges on dank nights somewhere in the Isles. Bossman Joe, of course, bites down hard and makes one cheer for the truth-telling that liberates.....while somehow hinting at revenge. Yeah, whips are good. Song of the Lakes has reached new heights with Poets Say. Bravo! See you at the Opera House."
