Review: Eric Devries – Traveler’s Heart
The Dutchman is back! With his blend of folk and bluegrass, Devries has always danced to his own tune. Kicking off the album is ‘Shadow Of A Man’, it’s a gentler prodding of the subject matter than an all-out critique of himself. That is, as ever with Devries, the music is still upbeat and dance-able, even when the topic is more morose. It’s a theme that continues throughout the work, Devries uses similar instrumentation, the banjo, ukulele, fiddle and acoustic guitar for every track. Overall, it gives the impression that Devries sounds exactly the same live as he does recorded. All through the record, Devries is audibly influenced by Bob Dylan’s earlier (and perhaps better) work. Standout tracks include the special ‘Angels In The Snow’ and the blues-rock ‘The Ballad Of Johnny and Ginny’.
