Lisa Kindred - I Like It This Way! download free

Interesting enough, this is not a folk rock album from the mid 60’s, but a traditional folk album, with traditional covers, sounding very organic, yet devoid of any electric instrumentation, and presented with vocals by Lisa that are deep rich and laced with bluesy undertones. The fact that I Like It That Way seemed to go nowhere, despite some really bright arrangements and vocals is testament to the folk rock influence, one that left little room for those who refused to stay from the accepted beaten path, and the fact that original music was then being demanded … as if it were no longer cool to relay another in a series of endless versions of traditional numbers. However, listening to this album today, with today’s ears, the release dose come off well, as it sounds for all the world as if it could be part of the new folk revival that’s creeping in around the edges of the music world.*** An interesting side note is that an unknown Don McLean makes an appearance here, adding six and twelve string guitar, fretted dobro, and backing vocals on several of the tracks.Review by Jenell Kesler
