Description
Can’ticles: Love Songs for the Not So Perfect is an album by the British Celtic pop/rock duo The Sweet Sorrows (Sammy Horner, of The Electrics fame, and wife Kylie), independently released in August 2014.
The onetime Electrics man, Sammy Horner, is now based in the USA and with his wife Kylie here offers a top collection of Celtic-style songs, following on from The Sweet Sorrows’ ‘It All Belongs’. This new set, subtitled ‘Songs For The Not So Perfect’, features some effective harmonies such as on «You Got Mine» (complete with some atmospheric sitar playing) and «Run To You». There is also a touch of rock’n’roll in «One Last Nerve», while the opener «Ain’t Got Nothing On Me» is a great country-tinged foot tapper. A perfect counterpoint to Sammy’s gutsy tones, Kylie’s voice is an absolute joy throughout. This is amply demonstrated on «There Is No Word For This (Noah’s Song)» which is beautifully delivered as a solo track. Throughout the largely relationship-based lyrics, the great Celtic music and outstanding vocals make this album a heartwarming listen. [Stephen Luff, Cross Rhythms, January 2015]
