On the Norway charts, superstar James Galway’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. Now signed to James Galway’s SixSteps records, the title track from second album “Sakura (Melodies of Japan). Flute” leads James Galway’s back-to-school campaign. On Sakura (Melodies of Japan). Flute album, James Galway have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. One of James Galway’s best albums yet.
Song Song of the Deep Forest is actually a funny song. Tokuyama Lu Haby one of the best in my collection. This track makes my mind whirl and vibrate with flowing energy. The sound of Love Song is difficult to describe, as it seems to squirm in a sensual manner, unlike anything ever created. It’s very catchy and easy to get into which is what you want in a song. Simple and heartfelt closing track Into the Forest closes Sakura (Melodies of Japan). Flute on a high note. Although Zui Zui Zukkorobashi is very melodic it is far from sad. Song of Clay is the song that really did it for me. Nakasendo (The Old Road) is a very good song maybe surprisingly better than you at first might’ve imagined. Opening track Hietruki Bushi (Love Song) shows the best of James Galway. Urulsiki Uta (Song of the Mill) gives taste of what makes James Galway special as a musician. This track, in particular, has the kind of undeniably catchy flavor. I find myself hearing bits of Harukoma (Spring Horse-Dance) here and there throughout my waking hours. Overall a nice softer song.
