'I Wanted My Album To Feel Bigger Than Just Music': Charley On 'The Chronicles Of A Serial Idealist'

Album Review: Davidson Brothers - Wanderlust

StarStarStarHalf Star

The two are very technically proficient at banjo, mandolin and fiddle, so the instrumentals are a real treat, the final track, BCBCB (Bottle Crackin’, Back Crackin’ Blues) especially.

Brothers Hamish and Lachlan Davidson have long put their own Australian spin on the American tradition of bluegrass – and latest release, Wanderlust, is no exception. Travelling, leaving and returning are themes tackled both with a grin and a sigh over the course of the record. Harmonies abound on their sung tracks, ranging from the humourous Every Time I Leave and Lost In Amsterdam to the wonderfully poignant Travelling Bluebird. The two are very technically proficient at banjo, mandolin and fiddle, so the instrumentals are a real treat, the final track, BCBCB (Bottle Crackin', Back Crackin' Blues) especially.
