Artist: Adam Alexander and Joe Travers
Album: The Perfect Pint
Year produced: 2009

Terrific! I loved this CD and I'll tell you why--there is nothing quite like it out there. I can't describe the sound of these voices adequetely, so I won't even try. Suffice it to say that I could listen to them sing for hours on end without any problem. The rich vocals are just a part of the charm of "The Perfect Pint". (Not to mention that it is a great name for an album!) Some favorites here include "Botany Bay" which showcases some spectacular guitar playing, and Whistlin' Gypsy.

Lovers of folk and Celtic sound will appreciate the effort these two men have put into this CD--it has a good polish on it and they have taken the time to make sure only their best efforts made it to the album. These guys are backed by a good deal of natural talent. Throughout the album you'll hear favorite songs here, but interpreted through the lens of these two men and their unique take on the classics. Nothing too "out there," but different enough to make things interesting. You'll also some hear original songs--which hold their own alongside the traditional tunes.
