Norman & Kolodner - Daybreak

Review by John Schindler

Daybreak, the latest album by Norman & Kolodner, is a beautiful collection of traditional and original folk music that showcases the duo's exceptional musicianship and heartfelt songwriting. The album features a variety of instruments, including banjo, fiddle, guitar, and mandolin, which are expertly played by Norman and Kolodner. The duo's harmonies are also a standout feature of the album, blending seamlessly together in songs like "The Sailor's Bonnet" and "The Lakes of Pontchartrain."

The album's title track, "Daybreak," is a particularly moving piece that captures the feeling of a new day dawning and the hope that comes with it. Other standout tracks include "The Fox," a lively instrumental tune that showcases the duo's impressive technical skills, and "The Leaving of Liverpool," a traditional sea shanty that is given new life in Norman & Kolodner's hands.
