Seona McDowell - Australian Ballads The Early Years

Review by Anna Karina

Australian Ballads: The Early Years by Seona McDowell is a captivating collection of traditional Australian folk songs. McDowell's soulful voice and acoustic guitar playing bring these timeless ballads to life.

The album opens with "The Wild Colonial Boy," a classic tale of an outlaw on the run. McDowell's rendition is hauntingly beautiful, with her voice conveying the desperation and sadness of the protagonist's fate.

Throughout the album, McDowell showcases her versatility as a musician, seamlessly transitioning from tender ballads like "The Drover's Dream" to upbeat tunes like "Waltzing Matilda." Her passion for these songs is evident in every note, and her love for the genre is infectious.

The production on the album is excellent, with a warm and natural sound that complements McDowell's vocals perfectly. The arrangements are simple but effective, allowing the songs to shine through without any unnecessary embellishments.
