Allen Dobb - Bottomland

Review by Faizal Afandi

Bottomland, the latest album from Allen Dobb, is a masterful blend of country, folk, and blues. The album is a reflection of Dobb's life and experiences, and each song is a story that transports the listener to the heart of the American South.

From the opening track, "Bottomland," Dobb's gravelly voice and acoustic guitar set the tone for the album. The title track is a haunting ballad that speaks to the struggles and hardships of life in the rural South.

The album's standout track is "The Night Garden," a beautiful and melancholic song that showcases Dobb's songwriting skills. The song is a tribute to Dobb's grandmother and her garden, and it is a poignant reminder of the importance of family and tradition.

Other standout tracks on the album include "The Old North Wind," a rollicking blues number, and "The Last One Standing," a powerful ballad that speaks to the resilience of the human spirit.

Summary by Faizal Afandi

Bottomland is a must-listen for fans of Americana and roots music. Dobb's storytelling and musicianship are top-notch, and the album is a testament to his talent as a songwriter and performer.
