The Bourgeois Gypsies: Faulty Fairytales (Kaiam Records)
Folk rock, alt country; The Duhks
Folk rock, alt country; The Duhks
This is the second album by this 5-piece based in California. The band is fronted by composer, vocalist and guitar player Kaisa MacDonald, who can sing with a sweet or sour voice. Vocals by also guitar player Arnold Mitchem add variety to the songs. There’s nice guitar and violin play in these sometimes bluesy ("Bright", #11), sometimes rocky tunes ("Dry Land", #8) that also include fine ballads, like track 3 "Bluebirds." Track 7, "Train Song," is a cleverly funny one.
