Songs For The Old Man

saetabis I found this album in a very turbulent time in my life, with lot of changes, and in a weird manner it helped me to find peace and acceptance. Also if you have the time to listen in one go from the start to the beggining you will find that the songs all together tell a story. Favorite track: Dark Prayer.

about

After 7 albums devoted to his maternal cultural heritage (Jewish from Transylvania) Yom returns with a reinterpretation of the American exile of his father in the 50s in the US. It's his review of this family legend, a crossing of romantic America, nostalgic, dreamy but also arid and violent. An album of folk songs « clarinettistiques » that he « sings » for his father, and for all those who spend their lives on the road, nomads, hobos, displaced, refugees.
