The album Winding Road by Golden Bough is a delightful blend of traditional and contemporary folk music. The trio of musicians, consisting of Paul Espinoza, Margie Butler, and Kathy Sierra, showcase their exceptional vocal harmonies and instrumental skills throughout the twelve tracks on the album.
The album opens with the upbeat and jaunty "The Winding Road," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The songs that follow are a mix of original compositions and traditional folk songs from Ireland, Scotland, and the United States. One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Lighthouse Keeper," a haunting ballad about a lonely lighthouse keeper and his lost love.
The instrumentation on the album is varied and impressive, with the musicians playing a range of instruments, including harp, fiddle, guitar, and mandolin. The production is clean and polished, allowing the beauty of the music to shine through.
