Our Take

Picture this: you're sitting in a cozy pub in Scotland, a warm fire crackling in the background, a pint of Guinness in hand. Suddenly, a troubadour takes the stage, armed with nothing but his guitar and a voice that could make angels weep. That troubadour is none other than Jackie Leven, and his latest album, "The Mystery Of Love (Is Greater Than The Mystery Of Death)," is a hauntingly beautiful journey through the depths of the human soul.

From the opening notes of "Once in a Blue Moon," Leven's gravelly voice draws you in like a siren's call, weaving tales of love, loss, and redemption. The album's title track is a masterclass in storytelling, with Leven's poetic lyrics painting vivid pictures of life's joys and sorrows.

But don't be fooled by the melancholy undertones - "The Mystery Of Love" is also infused with moments of joy and celebration. Tracks like "The Loves of Jeanne Devlin" and "Crepuscule" are pure ear candy, guaranteed to have you tapping your feet and humming along.

Overall, "The Mystery Of Love" is a mesmerizing blend of folk, blues, and Celtic influences, showcasing Leven's unparalleled songwriting skills and emotional depth. So grab a pint, settle in by the fire, and let Jackie Leven take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. You can thank us later.
