Tammerlin, One Kind
Favor (BirdsTale, 2005)
Lee Hunter and Arvid Smith, the Jacksonville, Florida-based duo who make up
Tammerlin, offer a 15-track collection that ranges from traditional Celtic
tunes through Appalachian ballads, a Bob Dylan cover, and one from Malcolm
Holcombe. There's a shimmering, airy quality to the arrangements that well
suits Hunter's voice. Darol Anger and Byron House are among those who sit
in on the Pete Winter-produced project. Outstanding cuts include the originals
"South Atlantic Blues" and "Clair de Lune Summer" and
two different takes on the familiar song "She Moved Through the Fair."
