Alan Moberg - Lady Of The Northland

Review by Kathy DiPietro

Alan Moberg's album, "Lady of the Northland," is a beautiful tribute to the rugged beauty of the Canadian wilderness. The album features Moberg's rich baritone voice and his mastery of the guitar, as well as the fiddle, harmonica, and accordion.

The album opens with "Lady of the Northland," a haunting ballad that tells the story of a woman who embodies the spirit of the land. Moberg's voice is full of emotion, and he captures the essence of the song perfectly.

Throughout the album, Moberg explores themes of love, loss, and the natural world. "The Last of the Buffalo," for example, is a poignant tribute to the once-great herds that roamed the plains. Moberg's voice is full of sadness as he sings, "They've taken the land, they've taken the sky, and they've taken the buffalo too."

The album also includes several upbeat tracks, such as "The Trapper's Song," which tells the story of a man who lives off the land. Moberg's guitar playing is particularly impressive on this track, and he injects a sense of joy and energy into the song.

Summary by Kathy DiPietro

"Lady of the Northland" is a beautiful album that showcases Moberg's talent as a songwriter and musician. His love for the Canadian wilderness is evident in every song, and his voice is a perfect match for the rugged, untamed beauty of the land.
