Fernhill
Hynt (Beautiful Jo, 2003)
$17.99

The 2003 release by this celebrated Welsh-based ensemble proves that all the raves for their previous gem, Whilia, were not in vain. Another brilliant acoustic recording that travels many European folk routes, only to come down squarely in Wales.

The record label says:
This is the band's fourth album and the follow up to their acclaimed and influential cd whilia 'possibly the best welsh album ever made' taplas

hynt was recorded live in two days at dreamworld studios in pembrokeshire with julie murphy on vocals, ceri rhys matthews on guitar, tomos williams on trumpet, cass meurig on fiddle and crwth and tim harries on double bass.

this is acoustic music at it's most fluid and inventive, specifically Welsh in origin but universal in communication. tradition meets innovation and town meets country throughout this extraordinary album.

Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America.

They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
