Sheree Plett: The Road to My Family

by Liz Chan – R.E. Mountain Secondary School, Langley BC Mar 9, 2010

3 stars

A candid collection of tunes about life.

The Road to My Family is an album infused with the lyrical storytelling traditions of folk music, and Sheree Plett’s smoke-strained voice sings earnestly about her perception of this beautiful mess called life. Amidst raw instrumentation, Plett weaves tales into haunting tracks like Riverbend, while making insightful observations in tracks like Sixteen Willows. Although The Road to My Family isn’t great for listeners hunting for commercially popular music, it is a good contemplative collection of songs for listeners looking for music with depth and honesty.

Liz’s fave track: Travelling
