Review by Michael Rees-Evans
Border Spirit is a traditional folk album by the High Level Ranters, a group hailing from the North East of England. The album features a collection of songs and tunes that showcase the band's exceptional musicianship and their deep connection to the folk traditions of their region.
The album opens with the lively "The Rowley Burn," a tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album with its energetic fiddle and accordion playing. The High Level Ranters' rendition of "The Keel Row" is a standout track, with its haunting melody and beautiful harmonies.
Other highlights on the album include "The Border Widow's Lament," a poignant ballad that tells the story of a woman whose husband has been killed in battle, and "The New Rigged Ship," a rousing tune that showcases the band's skill at playing together in tight unison.
