Album Review: Luka Bloom - Head And Heart

Chris Familton

"The Irish folk singer returns with songs that are noteworthy for their skeletal, laid-bare arrangements"

More Luka Bloom Luka Bloom Profile



The Irish folk singer returns with songs that are noteworthy for their skeletal, laid-bare arrangements and the instrumentation provided by The Phil Ware Trio – Ware on piano, Dave Redmond on double bass, Kevin Brady on drums. Comprised of a number of covers and a couple of Bloom originals, this is an album that keeps its focus on the simple beauty of a great song. Dylan (Every Grain Of Sand), John Martyn (Head And Heart) and Ewan MacColl (The Joy Of Living) are some of the songwriters Bloom pays tribute to in this heartfelt collection.
