Review by Amechi Eze

Newfoundland Heads The Waverley by Peter Handford is an outstanding album that showcases the beauty and richness of traditional Newfoundland music. The album features Handford's skillful playing of the accordion, as well as his heartfelt and soulful vocals.

The songs on the album are a mix of traditional Newfoundland folk tunes and original compositions by Handford, all of which are performed with great passion and authenticity. The album's title track, "Newfoundland Heads The Waverley," is a standout, with its driving rhythm and catchy melody.

Handford is joined on the album by a talented group of musicians, including fiddler Kelly Russell and guitarist Dave Panting, who add depth and texture to the already rich sound. The album's production is top-notch, with each instrument and vocal perfectly balanced in the mix.
