Kentin Jivek - Folklore And Folktales
Review by jerryaan melko
Folklore And Folktales by Kentin Jivek is a delightful album that takes the listener on a journey through various tales and stories. The album is a perfect blend of traditional folk music and contemporary sounds, making it a unique and refreshing addition to any music collection.
The album opens with the track "The Faerie Queen," a hauntingly beautiful song that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The use of traditional instruments such as the mandolin and the accordion, along with Jivek's powerful vocals, creates a magical atmosphere that transports the listener to another time and place.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Ballad of John Henry," a classic folk tale about a railroad worker who races against a steam drill. Jivek's interpretation of the song is both powerful and emotional, capturing the spirit of the original story while adding his own unique twist.
Another highlight of the album is "The Devil and the Farmer's Wife," a dark and eerie tale about a woman who makes a deal with the devil. Jivek's vocals are particularly impressive on this track, conveying the desperation and fear of the farmer's wife as she tries to outsmart the devil.
