Our Take

Christian Howes' latest album, "American Spirit," is a delightful romp through the eclectic landscape of American music. From the swinging jazz of New Orleans to the twangy tunes of Nashville, Howes effortlessly weaves together a tapestry of sound that is as diverse as it is enjoyable.

The album kicks off with the toe-tapping track "Southern Comfort," a down-home tribute to the roots of American music. Howes' fiddle playing is nothing short of mesmerising, drawing the listener in with its soulful expression and intricate melodies.

As the album progresses, Howes takes us on a musical journey through country, blues, and even a touch of rock 'n' roll. Tracks like "Midnight in Memphis" and "Swingin' in the Bluegrass" showcase Howes' versatility as a musician, effortlessly switching between genres with finesse and flair.

But it's not all fun and games on "American Spirit." Howes also delves into deeper, more introspective territory with tracks like "The Road Less Travelled" and "Reflections." These quieter moments allow Howes to showcase his emotional depth and musical sensitivity, providing a welcome counterbalance to the album's more upbeat moments.

Overall, "American Spirit" is a triumph of American music, blending tradition with innovation in a way that is both captivating and joyous. Christian Howes has truly captured the spirit of American music in all its quirky, fun, and diverse glory.
