Sydney Coltham Peter Dawson - Sally In Our Alley The Volunteer Organist

Review by Tarun Stevenson

Sally In Our Alley The Volunteer Organist is a delightful album that showcases the talents of two legendary singers, Sydney Coltham and Peter Dawson. The album features a collection of traditional English folk songs, including the title track "Sally In Our Alley" and "The Ash Grove."

The album opens with Coltham's rendition of "Sally In Our Alley," which is a charming and upbeat tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Coltham's vocals are clear and crisp, and he brings a sense of joy and enthusiasm to each of the songs he performs.

Dawson's contributions to the album are equally impressive. His deep, resonant voice is perfectly suited to the more somber tracks, such as "The Ash Grove" and "The Miller of Dee." Dawson's performance on these songs is heartfelt and emotional, and he brings a sense of gravitas to the album as a whole.

The two singers also collaborate on several tracks, including "The British Grenadiers" and "The Lincolnshire Poacher." Their harmonies are tight and well-balanced, and they play off each other's strengths to create a truly memorable listening experience.

Summary by Tarun Stevenson

Sally In Our Alley The Volunteer Organist is a wonderful album that showcases the talents of two of the finest singers of their era. It is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates traditional English folk music and the art of singing.
