Kitty Donohoe's latest album, Farmer In Florida, is a beautiful and heartfelt tribute to the rural life of the Sunshine State. With her signature blend of folk, Celtic, and Americana influences, Donohoe paints a vivid picture of the people and places that make up Florida's farming communities.
From the opening track, "The Farm," Donohoe's warm and inviting voice draws listeners in, setting the stage for a journey through the fields and forests of rural Florida. The songs that follow explore a range of themes, from the joys and struggles of farming to the beauty of the natural world.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Florida Cracker," which celebrates the hardworking cowboys and cowgirls who have kept Florida's ranching tradition alive for generations. Donohoe's lyrics capture the spirit of these rugged individuals, while her acoustic guitar and fiddle accompaniment add to the song's rustic charm.
Another highlight is "The River," a haunting ballad that speaks to the power and mystery of Florida's waterways. Donohoe's voice is particularly affecting on this track, conveying a sense of awe and reverence for the natural world.
