Our Take
Our Take
Crisp as a scone with a dollop of clotted cream, Norman Blake's Live at McCabe's is a delightful journey through Americana goodness. The Scottish singer-songwriter effortlessly blends folk, country, and bluegrass in a way that feels as natural as a rainy day in Glasgow.
From the opening chords of "Little Martha" to the closing notes of "You Are My Sunshine," Blake's fingerpicking skills are on full display, weaving intricate melodies that transport you to a front porch in Tennessee. His warm, inviting vocals wrap around you like a cosy blanket, inviting you to sit a spell and listen to stories as old as time.
The standout track, "Randall Collins," is a toe-tapping romp through the hills and hollers of Appalachia, with Blake's nimble guitar work complimented by his charming storytelling. It's the kind of song that makes you want to grab a banjo and join in the fun, even if you've never picked one up before.
Overall, Live at McCabe's is a masterclass in Americana music, showcasing Norman Blake's undeniable talent and his deep love for the genre. So grab a cup of tea, pull up a chair, and let this album take you on a journey through the heart of American roots music. Cheers, Norman. You've done it again.
