The Harrowgate Stringband's album, Harrowgate, is a beautiful collection of traditional bluegrass and folk music. The band's musicianship is exceptional, with each member contributing to the rich, textured sound of the album. The vocals are particularly noteworthy, with the harmonies blending seamlessly together to create a haunting, yet uplifting, sound.
The album opens with the upbeat and toe-tapping "Fiddler's Dream," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's instrumental prowess is on full display on tracks like "Shenandoah Breakdown" and "Cumberland Gap," while the slower, more introspective tracks like "Red Rocking Chair" and "Wayfaring Stranger" showcase the band's ability to convey emotion through their music.
