Shalliker’s growth as a musician over the years is thrilling to watch and what he does with folk music is commendable. Al Shalliker’s latest album “The Diamond Hill” is a collection of heart-touching songs which are really unique in their own sense and a pleasure to listen to.
“The Diamond Hill is like a beautifully woven necklace tied up together with different and unique gems making it a collective piece of beautiful art.”
‘The Diamond Hill’ is a collection of thirteen beautiful songs put together to give you a melodious listening experience that you will never forget. This genius is the result of the collaborative work of Al Shalliker with two old friends and musical minds of Tony Davies (on the bass) and Alex McGinnes (on the harmonica). The album is rooted in classic elements of folk music while retaining the authenticity of its own. The entire album is full of great songs but the one I am listening to the most is Six White Horses. The song is such an easy listen and the harmonica on it is simply enchanting and the emotions the song evokes in you are pure and joyful. Al’s rusty voice does its magic in every song and hooks the listeners to the lyrics pretty well. His way of arranging words together in a song is awe-inspiring which helps the audience go through a range of emotions while listening to the album. Al’s personal music style leaves quite a mark on the album and leaves you wanting more from the artist. The album is out there on all the listening platforms so go and listen to it now.
