One of the most original and interesting concept albums of the year. Psalms a record by Kentucky based musician and archivist Nathan Salsburg. A devotional journey into the nature of his Jewish faith, it's a series of baroque and intricate songs, mostly given the title of one of the Psalms.
Beautifully played guitar in the Folk tradition of Bert Jansch and accompanied by singing in Hebrew and English by Salsburg and his collaborators, it's a rather lovely, meditative study, Best listened to right the way through. Like the Psalms themselves, every track here seems to tell a different story.
