Our Take

Ah, Joel Rafael! The man with a voice as smooth as butter and a passion for folk music that would put Bob Dylan to shame. His latest album, "The Songs Of Woody Guthrie - Vol 1 & 2," is a delightful ode to the legendary troubadour himself.

From the moment the first track kicks in, you can tell that Rafael is a true master of his craft. His delicate fingerpicking and heartfelt vocals transport you back to the dusty streets of 1930s America, where Guthrie's words first rang out.

Rafael doesn't just cover Guthrie's iconic songs; he breathes new life into them, infusing each one with his own unique charm and personality. Tracks like "This Land Is Your Land" and "Deportees" are given a fresh, modern twist that will have you tapping your toes and humming along.

But Rafael doesn't stop there; he also includes a few original compositions inspired by Guthrie's legacy. These songs fit seamlessly alongside the classics, proving that Rafael is a talent to be reckoned with in his own right.

Overall, "The Songs Of Woody Guthrie - Vol 1 & 2" is a must-listen for any fan of folk music or American history. Rafael's reverence for Guthrie shines through in every note, making this album a true masterpiece. Don't miss out on this one, folks. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
