Blind Alfred Reed - Apalachian Visionary
Review by Nick Boxwell
Blind Alfred Reed's album, "Apalachian Visionary," is a stunning collection of traditional Appalachian folk songs that showcase his exceptional musicianship and storytelling abilities. The album features Reed's soulful vocals and his mastery of the fiddle and guitar, which he uses to create rich, intricate melodies that transport listeners to the heart of the Appalachian mountains.
The songs on "Apalachian Visionary" are deeply rooted in the region's history and culture, and Reed's lyrics paint vivid portraits of life in the mountains. From the haunting ballad of "There'll Be No Distinction There" to the rollicking "How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live," Reed's songs capture the spirit and resilience of the Appalachian people.

Two pence and buy a daddy's shirt. I once if we dont take every day, tear drops, still without a cause, hardly get a breath, how can a poor man, bags of coal. Your alright, how can a poor man stay so long in a stear
