Our Take

In the ever-expanding world of folk music, Bonnie Dobson’s “Dear Companion” is a breath of fresh air, like a cool breeze on a sweltering summer day. Dobson, a true legend in the folk music scene, delivers an album that is both intimate and haunting, filled with timeless melodies and poignant lyrics that will tug at your heartstrings.

From the opening track “I Got Stung” to the closing ballad “Morning Dew,” Dobson’s crystal-clear vocals shine brightly over acoustic guitars and tender string arrangements that transport you to another time and place. Her songwriting is both introspective and observant, drawing upon personal experiences and universal truths to create a collection of songs that are as relatable as they are captivating.

Standout tracks like “Winter’s Going” and “Fair and Tender Ladies” showcase Dobson’s lyrical prowess and emotive delivery, while more experimental tracks like “Rainy Windows” and “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” demonstrate her willingness to push the boundaries of traditional folk music.

In a world filled with overproduced pop hits and auto-tuned vocals, Bonnie Dobson’s “Dear Companion” is a reminder of the power of simplicity and authenticity in music. With this album, Dobson cements her status as a true folk music icon, and proves that sometimes, less is truly more. So sit back, relax, and let Bonnie Dobson serenade you with her timeless tunes - you won’t regret it.
