 Wolf & Clover - Live at the Silvan Sessions

Label: selfrelease

Length: 31:30
Genre: (Indie) Folk

Regarding the history of Georgia's Wolf & Clover, the recording "Live at the Silvan Sessions" is a highly interesting document. Not only is the six-track the release that marks the time between their selftitled debut (2018) and their upcoming second studio album (to be excpected later in 2021), it also is a recording that was performed while the band was going through some major changes in its line-up.
Furthermore, the live session took place in March 2020, at the beginning of the pandemic. Wolf & Clover decided to not cancel the concert at Frank Schley's shop and instead play for a reduced audience in order to arrange the joy of live music with safety.


Well, and finally "Live at the Silvan Sessions" was recorded on St. Patrick's Day. This information may not be as relevant, but at least it fits the music perfectly because Wolf & Clover provide us with sweetest Celtic and Irish Folk. And yet, it is not the type of Celtic Folk you have heard over and over again at every bar that serves Kilkenny and Redbreast. Instead, Wolf & Clover use traditional tunes and themes and reinterprete them in their own contemporary way. Still acoustic, and still performed with traditional instruments, Wolf & Clover let their own musical upbringing covibrate with their interpretations of Irish Folk songs.


Wolf & Clover play music for every occasion. Sweet and melancholic songs like 'O'Carolan's Farewell to Music' are the perfect sound to make yourselves comfortable and maybe pour a glass of malt whisky, while dynamic tunes as in 'The Blarney Pilgrim' can turn every floor into a dance floor. Thus, Wolf & Clover professionally combine traditional Folk with contemporary independent music and thereby enchant hearing, body and soul.
And a little side note: the theme of 'O'Carolan's Farewell to Music' reminded me Metallica's 'The Unforgiven' a bit. Is that by coincidence or did Metallica use the Irish Folk theme for their song?

Music from every post will stay in the MangoRotation playlist for 14 days.
