Top Albums of 2009- Brooke
Noble Beast – Andrew Bird
The pop, singer songwriter creates catchy songs and incorporates the violin that is just as natural as roping on a different guitar. This album includes two CDs – one instrumentals and another with vocal tracks –ensconced in beautiful packaging.
Hazards of Love – The Decemberists
A musical in the make, this album’s only fault is I wish the songs were longer. The storytelling lyrics and instrumentation create a musical story filled with sorrow and spiting hatred. Its’ evil and beautiful at the same time harkening back to Medieval Ages when losing a child in labor was common. Next stop Broadway.
Nordic – Nordic
A refreshing mix of bass,mandolin and Swedish harp. No vocals with instruments that take you to another land.
