TullyArtist: Poor Man's Fortune Album: "In Good Time" Year produced: 2007 What do you get when you have three musicians who set out to play music from Brittany, Ireland, England, Scandinavia and Scotland and want to bring theirown stamp to the mix? You have a CD by Poor Man's Fortune, titled In Good Time! The band calls their style, "old tunes for new ears" and accomplishes that by taking old, traditional songs from a variety of places and arranging them with a modern influence. The instruments remain traditional, but the band infuses their tunes with an energy and style that leaves one well aware that this is not your grandfather's trio. This band has some serious background in the music field--either by college degree or experience--or both. You'll find no amateurs here. The CD begins with the sound of a crowd and evolves into a fun jaunty piece to get things rolling. Some tracks are light and fluffy while others are a bit more dramatic--one doesn't know what exactly to expect from each new song--but it is all interesting. Those looking for music that is traditional filtered through the lens of interpretation and intellect will get excited by this CD. If you want a safe listen, you may want to look elsewhere, but if you want to expand your musical horizons and see what can happen when one doesn't play totally by the rules--check out this album. It's well worth the time. Buy the Album: "In Good Time" Catherine L. Tully is a freelance writer and photographer who specializes in the arts.
