Ruby Melvin, George S Shepherd - The Auld Boulzie Hill
Review by David Malafarina
The album "The Auld Boulzie Hill" by Ruby Melvin and George S Shepherd is a beautiful and haunting collection of traditional Scottish folk songs. The duo's harmonies are stunning, and their arrangements are full of rich, intricate textures that bring the songs to life.
The album opens with the title track, a mournful ballad about a young man who falls in love with a girl from the other side of the hill. Melvin and Shepherd's voices blend together perfectly, conveying the sadness and longing of the song's protagonist.
Other highlights include "The Banks of the Dee," a stirring tale of lost love, and "The Braes o' Balquhither," a lively tune about the joys of country life. Throughout the album, Melvin and Shepherd's musicianship is impeccable, with Shepherd's guitar and mandolin work providing the perfect accompaniment to Melvin's soaring vocals.
