RM Hubbert - Telling the Trees

Review by Cristina Durán

Telling the Trees, the latest album by RM Hubbert, is a beautiful and introspective collection of songs that showcase the Scottish guitarist's virtuosity and emotional depth. The album is a departure from Hubbert's previous work, featuring a more stripped-down and intimate sound that allows his intricate fingerstyle playing and poetic lyrics to shine.

The album opens with "The Dog," a melancholic instrumental track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Hubbert's guitar playing is delicate and precise, evoking a sense of longing and nostalgia. The following track, "Buckstacy," is a haunting ballad that showcases Hubbert's unique voice and his ability to convey complex emotions through his lyrics.

Other standout tracks on the album include "For Helen," a tender love song that features Hubbert's vocals accompanied by a simple, yet beautiful guitar melody, and "Wildfire," an upbeat instrumental that showcases Hubbert's technical prowess as a guitarist.

Summary by Cristina Durán

Telling the Trees is a beautiful and deeply personal album that showcases RM Hubbert's skills as a musician and songwriter. It is a must-listen for fans of acoustic guitar music and anyone looking for a heartfelt and introspective musical experience.
