Duncan Chalmers – Out of Obscurity

CD Review by Graham Blackley

On this eleven-track album, folk singer and guitarist, Duncan Chalmers, shares his interpretation of traditional songs such as “Mary Hamilton”, “Barbara Allen”, “The King” and “House Carpenter” as well as covers of modern classics such as Dan Fogelberg’s “Leader of the Band” and that perennial sing-along favourite Pete Seeger’s “Where Have All the Flowers Gone.”

With a strong and mellifluous voice and a stripped-back approach, Chalmers presents these songs with both skill and respect.
