A storyteller..., Nov 26 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Of Your Son (W/1 Bonus Track) (Audio CD)
This is not an album for lovers of pre-digested three-minute musical candyfloss. Bruce Guthro tells stories, inspired by people he knows, overheard fragments and the life he sees around him. And he does it beautifully - with a deceptively simple-sounding vocal line over a complex, shifting backdrop of evocative guitar picking and fiddle (supplied by Natalie MacMaster), piano, mandolin, dulcimer, penny whistle... One day, he will get the recognition he deserves as a major songwriter - and you can hear it here, first. (Unless you managed to get hold of a copy of his debut, 'Sails to the Wind', in which case you already know.)

Great Storyteller, Nov 16 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Of Your Son (W/1 Bonus Track) (Audio CD)
This is a wonderful CD of stories told in song, with melodies that are so great to listen to. They are stories about everyday things told in a meaningful way. It makes me proud to be a Nova Scotian.
