“Night IFIMH”- The mandolin comes through directly on first listen. There is a bluegrass feel that accompaniments and the strained vocals are no match for the instruments. The only time I really heard the lyrics happen was when the music halted so they tried to hold a solo; Without luck. Great music with forgettable lyrics, this song rolls to a traditional fade out.
“Down by the Riverside”- The piano is the highlight of this song. The vocals are too slow and overdrawn. They never excite or emphasize the notion that this song could achieve. The implied love and mischief portrays through the instruments with ease. “Now faithless love makes that willow cry…”- That line should hold its own. Instead it is muttered and left to drip into the torrent of notes and harmonies that simply evaporate into nothing. Please let someone with vocal strength and attitude sing this song to its prospective. Please.
