Your Daughters & Your Sons
 | By Duhks Sugarhill, 2006, Audio CD |
|---|
The success of the Winnipeg folk favorites' self-titled stateside debut has sparked the reissue of this 2002 Canadian indie release. Though the Duhks were a drummerless quartet in their initial incarnation (occasionally augmented in the studio by a rhythm section), they were from the start a band with ties to tradition, but unbound by it. The virtuosic range on display here is a freewheeling delight, with the propulsive instrumental dance medleys from a variety of sources and the soulful vocals of Jessica Havey on material that extends from the spiritual resonance of Gillian Welch's "Rock of Ages" to the jazzy inflections of "The Leather-Winged Bat." Much of the music spotlights the progressive interplay of banjoist Leonard Podolak and fiddler Tania Elizabeth. Though this was recorded not long after the Duhks came together, they already had a vision of where they were going. — Don McLeese

- Duhks a l'orange
- I first heard the Duhks at the Lyons Folks Festival in Colorado in 2003 and was completely bowled over by their incredible music. It seemed like everyone on the grounds was dancing and really getting into the music with energy that (most) other bands just don't generate. You won't go wrong with either of their first two records. (I've… More reviews
- Great Future for The Duhks
- An excellent CD for anyone who loves good Blues, Celtic, Bluegrass, Country, or Rock. While non-electric in the same way as Union Station, they display more drive and funk with almost equal virtuosity on this their first CD. I give it 4 stars because their second CD is a 5.
Almost equal virtuosity, because they are in their professional infancy compared to the maturity… More reviews
