Product Description

On his new CD Old World Folk: Folk Songs and Instrumentals from the British Isles, David Leinweber connects history and music, performing original arrangements of popular English, Irish, and Scottish folk songs. The project includes well-worn gems such as “Star of the County Down,” “Soldier’s Joy,” “Flowers of Edinburgh,” “Molly Malone,” “Lavender Blue,” and “Scarborough Fair.” Old World Folk also features two popular Leinweber originals -- the hilarious “Fake Your Sincerity,” and the instrumental “West Country Rag,” highlighting skillful fingerpicking on the Martin HD-28 guitar.

This review is from: Old World Folk (Audio CD)

Old World Folk is the result of a good musician playing the music he truly loves. David Leinweber has been playing tradition and folk music for a while and you can definately tell that he cherishes the music on this disc. Most of the recordings are good quality, there is a little noise on one or two of the tracks, but over all, the quality is good. The version of Scarborough Fair is awesome, and the original song "Fake Your Sincerity" is a riot (it reminds me of some of the papers I wrote for his history classes!).

If you like folk music or old world music, this disc is a good addition to your collection.
