Review of Hallelujah Land from Shalom America
|
|
If Pete Seeger had been Jewish, these are songs he'd have written! Cleveland, Ohio native Noah Budin has released what is this decade's best Jewish folk album, and possibly the best since Megama's 1980 debut album. Produced by Cantor Doug Cotler (a fine artist in his own right), "Hallelujah Land" sets a new standard for English language Jewish music. On "Hallelujah Land", Budin and his guitar are joined by sparse but effective instrumentation and background vocals on songs of faith in G-d, Bible stories and the Land of Israel. "Early in the Morning (Late at Night)" is a rousing throwback to 60's protest-folk music complete with call and response chorus and verses that cover Moses, Samson, the victims of the Holocaust and even the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. "Joshua's Band" is a no holds barred Jewish Gospel number that will have you clapping and singing along with the choir instantly. "Wisdom of the Heart", a prayer for well-being is a pretty and lush duet with Jewish recording artist Julie Silver, and the title track is a country-folk romp through the story of the Exodus. A fantastic debut effort and a refreshing take on Jewish music!
