In Gowan Ring- The Glinting Spade

DOWNLOAD- The Glinting Spade

This thing was really hard to get my hands on for a reasonable price, I ended up paying quite a bit for it.
-Totaly worth it though-
In Gowan Ring is the ongoing folk project of american Jon Michael going under the pseudonym of B'eirth, the project first saw daylight in the mid-90's and is associated with the neofolkscene and contemporary folk scene.

The Glinting Spade is a real bard's tale, imagine Simon and Garfunkel's song "Scarborough Fair" then imagine an album with seven songs equally good to Scarborough Fair. That is what you get here, add to that some psychedelic influences in songs such as "Cipher's String on the Tree in the Dream of the Queen".


B'eirth

My favourite track on the album is To Thrum a Glassy Stem.
Left low in sanguine laughter
in a bed the soft of heather
Stashed in the branches breach

This is an album you could listen to at any time. Studying, going for a walk or just relaxing. Brings some peace and comfort to the soul. Any fan of any type of folkmusic should be able to enjoy this release.
