Review by Dmitry Lysenko

The album "The Mystical Magical Miramichi" by Susan Butler & The Miramichi River Folk is a delightful collection of traditional folk songs and original compositions inspired by the Miramichi River region of New Brunswick, Canada. The album features Susan Butler's soulful vocals, backed by the skilled musicianship of the Miramichi River Folk, who play a variety of instruments including guitar, banjo, fiddle, and mandolin.

The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "Miramichi River Song," which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its lively melody and lyrics about the river and its surrounding landscape. Other standout tracks include "The Ballad of Mary March," a haunting tale of a tragic love affair, and "The Old Road," a nostalgic tribute to a bygone era.

Throughout the album, Butler's lyrics evoke a sense of wonder and reverence for the natural beauty of the Miramichi River region, while the Miramichi River Folk's arrangements add depth and texture to the songs. The album concludes with the poignant "The River Still Flows," a tribute to the enduring power and resilience of the Miramichi River.
