4.0 out of 5 stars Blown in the Riggin, August 31, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Wind in the Rigging (Audio CD)

The artists perform timmeless
songs of the sea with such simple clearity
that one can almost feel the presence
of the salt air and expereence the
power and beauty of being far out
to sea. Especially moving is their
rendering of the mariners hymn
" Eternal Father Strong to Save."

When I first heard this recording as a child, it was not long after the original release in 1988, and the album quickly became a family favorite. Now, as an adult, I still find it to be my all-time favorite recording of traditional music - and one of my favorite albums of any musical genre. The arrangements are flawless and beautiful, the playing soulful and skilled. I could gush for hours about this CD, but it's just easier to listen for yourself. I love it, and if you have any fondness for instrumental and/or traditional music, you will too. Even though I've been listening to this album for over a decade and a half, it still tugs at my heartstrings and brings a smile to my face every single time I listen to it.
