Dave Wells - Carrington Street

Review by Wijbrand Schaap

Carrington Street is the latest album from Dave Wells, a talented singer-songwriter who has made a name for himself in the folk music scene. The album is a collection of 10 original songs that showcase Wells' impressive songwriting skills and his ability to craft memorable melodies.

From the opening track, "Down on the Corner," to the closing ballad, "The Last Goodbye," Carrington Street is a journey through the heart and soul of a musician who has poured his life experiences into his music. The songs are a mix of upbeat folk-rock tunes and poignant ballads, each one telling a story that is both personal and universal.

Wells' voice is the perfect vehicle for his songs, with a warm and expressive tone that draws the listener in and holds them captive. He is backed by a talented group of musicians who provide the perfect accompaniment for his songs, adding depth and texture to the arrangements.

Standout tracks on the album include "Carrington Street," a haunting ballad that tells the story of a lost love, and "The Road," a rollicking tune that celebrates the freedom and adventure of the open road. But every song on the album is a gem, and each one deserves to be listened to and savored.

Summary by Wijbrand Schaap

Carrington Street is a triumph for Dave Wells, and a must-have for anyone who loves thoughtful, well-crafted folk music. It is an album that will stay with you long after the last notes have faded away, a testament to the power of music to touch the heart and soul.
