Travelling MusicAndrew Sweeny : "Monotone" (CAN,2005)***°°

This is a singer-songerwriter item I prefered to listen to again and again. Each track is differently arranged, all perfectly suiting the song, mostly with piano and acoustic guitar combinations, but also with amplified guitar, and additional cello and one track with handpercussion. The piano/guitar combinations are melodically forming the compositions together, building up and adding the right touches to the song melody. A few songs are slightly melancholic, in a revealing way. The singing holds the middle between artists like Pat Orchard, Greg Weeks, Jamie Barnes, Great Lake Swimmers and in two tracks Leonard Cohen without pushing this. A beautiful, recommended album.

Audio : "Blind River Seine","Tilting Bridges","Don't Fly"
