Traditional Scottish Folk Singer Bob Wood.
If you want to hear some really good quality Folk music,you should check out a traditional Scottish Folk singer and guitarist, Bob Wood.
A good place to start is with his c.d. "When The Moon Sits Fat On A Scudding Cloud.".
His guitar playing on this c.d. is gentle and mellow and always captures the essential mood of each song.His voice has a distinctive timbre that is perfect for the type of music he performs.So when he sings and plays the guitar,you feel somehow, that he is bringing out the intimate secrets of the songs,that you were unaware of before.
On top of this,all the songs are arranged in a very sparse way with no unnecessary instruments to distract from the spirit of the song.The players who accompany him are also excellent musicians,with the pipe,slide guitar,harmonica,accordion,keyboard and fiddle, all taking their respective, unobtrusive places in each song.
As Froots Magazine said about the musicians on this c.d."They are never intrusive..." and "The overall mood is haunting, melancholic and reflective."
Bob certainly embraces traditional Folk with a powerful,yet gentle passion.
