Brenda Wootton - Way Down To Lamorna

Review by milan limbu

Way Down To Lamorna by Brenda Wootton is a beautiful album that showcases the singer's exceptional talent and passion for traditional Cornish folk music. The album features 13 tracks, each one a gem in its own right, and it is clear that Wootton has poured her heart and soul into each one.

The album opens with the title track, "Way Down To Lamorna", a hauntingly beautiful song that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Wootton's voice is rich and soulful, and the arrangement is simple yet effective, allowing the lyrics and melody to shine.

Throughout the album, Wootton's love of Cornish culture and history is evident. She sings about everything from the beauty of the Cornish countryside to the struggles of the working class, and her lyrics are both poetic and heartfelt.

One standout track is "Trelawny", a rousing song about the famous Cornish patriot, which features Wootton's soaring vocals and a lively arrangement that will have listeners tapping their feet and singing along.
