Regular.
Good Morning.
It has become a bit of a ritual over the Lockdown period to sit, with several cups of tea, on a Sunday morning and listen to some music.
I have a pretty eclectic taste and was wondering what everyone is listening to at the moment?
I thought I would make a habit of picking one album, from my most listened to genres and share them with you. (If any one is interested?)
Jazz- listening to a lot of jazz at the moment whilst cooking and drinking the old home brew. My top artist at the moment is Tord Gustavsen. He is an incredible Jazz pianist. My album of choice is The Well. This features Tord with his Quartet and is certainly worth a listen.
Classical- Thomas Dunford. Perfect for a mellow Sunday morning. The album - The Mad Lover, features Thomas on Lute and a relatively unknown Violinist, Theotime Langlois de Swarte. Don’t let the pretentious name put you off. This is a beautiful album.
Rock/Metal- Brand new album from the highly acclaimed Evanescence. The Bitter Truth. Maybe not everyone’s thing but it’s undeniable that Amy Lee has an incredible voice. Personally always been a fan.
Folk/World - finally a genre that sits at the back of the pub and feels uncomfortable with itself. Probably because it’s most often associated with colourful trousers, bells and the irritating sound of the Accordion. However this genre has seen a few renaissance’s over the years and some of the bands are well worth a listen.
So I bring you, Wardruna. A trad Norse group, playing trad instruments of the Viking Age. Indeed, many of the lyrics come from translations of Skaldic poetry of the same era. If you have watched the tv show, Vikings, then you will already be familiar with this band. There music makes up 50 percent of the soundtrack. My album of choice is Kvitravn.
Happy listening.
If you have any recommendations then please. I am always looking for new music to enjoy.
