The Islanders - Newfoundland Memories

Review by Ahlam Al-turki

Newfoundland Memories by Islanders is a delightful album that brings the rich culture and heritage of the Canadian province to life. The album features traditional Newfoundland folk songs that have been passed down through generations and are still popular today. The Islanders, a talented group of musicians and singers, have done an excellent job of capturing the spirit of the music and delivering it with authenticity and passion.

The album is a perfect blend of upbeat and slower tempo songs, with each track showcasing the unique style and flavor of Newfoundland music. The instrumentation is excellent, with fiddles, guitars, and accordions adding depth and texture to the songs. The vocals are also outstanding, with the Islanders' harmonies and vocal arrangements adding a layer of beauty to the music.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Night Pat Murphy Died," a humorous and catchy tune that tells the story of a man who meets an untimely end. Another standout is "The Ode to Newfoundland," the official anthem of the province, which the Islanders perform with reverence and pride.

Summary by Ahlam Al-turki

Newfoundland Memories by Islanders is a must-have for anyone who loves traditional folk music or wants to learn more about the culture and heritage of Newfoundland. The album is a true tribute to the province and its people, and the Islanders have done an excellent job of bringing these timeless songs to life. Highly recommended!
