Old Light

Ah, NOVA SCOTIA's latest album, "Old Lightin'" is a delightfully eccentric romp through the realms of folk and Americana. This band from the backwoods of Canada has managed to capture the essence of a bygone era while injecting their own unique twist into the mix. From the opening track, "Moonshine Shuffle," listeners are transported to a world where banjos twang, fiddles sing, and foot-stomping is not only encouraged but practically mandatory. The band's whimsical lyrics and infectious melodies will have you tapping your feet and humming along in no time. Lead singer, Old Jack, has a voice that sounds like it was plucked straight from the dusty pages of an old folk tale. His gravelly growl adds a touch of authenticity to each song, making you feel as though you've stumbled upon a hidden gem from the past. Tracks like "Whiskey River" and "Blacksmith Blues" showcase NOVA SCOTIA's ability to blend traditional folk with modern sensibilities, creating a sound that is at once familiar and fresh. The band's tight harmonies and expert musicianship only add to the overall experience, making "Old Lightin'" a must-listen for fans of folk and Americana. So grab your moonshine jug, put on your dancing shoes, and get ready to be transported to a world where the past meets the present in a toe-tapping, knee-slapping extravaganza. NOVA SCOTIA may be old lightin', but they're certainly burning bright.
