Download A L Lloyd - Ten Thousand Miles Away English And Australian Folk Songs album

Review by Brett Kaplan

A L Lloyd's album Ten Thousand Miles Away English And Australian Folk Songs is a masterful collection of traditional songs that showcases the rich musical heritage of both England and Australia. The album features Lloyd's distinctive baritone voice accompanied by simple yet evocative arrangements that capture the essence of each song.

From the haunting melodies of "The Black Velvet Band" and "The Banks of the Condamine" to the rollicking rhythms of "The Wild Colonial Boy" and "The Bonny Lass of Fyvie," the album offers a diverse range of songs that are both entertaining and deeply moving. Lloyd's passion for folk music shines through in every track, as he brings to life the stories and characters that populate these timeless songs.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Botany Bay," a classic Australian ballad that tells the story of a convict who is transported to the colonies for his crimes. Lloyd's powerful vocals and the sparse instrumentation create a sense of isolation and desperation that perfectly captures the mood of the song.

Summary by Brett Kaplan

Ten Thousand Miles Away English And Australian Folk Songs is a must-have album for anyone who loves traditional folk music. A L Lloyd's skillful interpretations and heartfelt performances make this a timeless classic that will continue to captivate listeners for generations to come.
