Review by Jim Mowatt
Just Before The Battle Mother The Vacant Chair, the album by Wheeler & Ballard Charles Harrison, is a beautiful collection of songs that will tug at your heartstrings. The album features a mix of patriotic and sentimental tunes that are perfect for any occasion.
The duo's harmonies are impeccable and their storytelling is captivating. The album's title track, "Just Before The Battle Mother," is a hauntingly beautiful tribute to soldiers who have lost their lives in battle. The song "The Vacant Chair" is a touching tribute to a loved one who has passed away.
The instrumentation on the album is also top-notch. The banjo, fiddle, and guitar are all expertly played and add depth and texture to the songs.
