Never Can Tell Review – Suspect Device Zine

DAVID BROAD “Never Can Tell” CD Folk Theatre

Call me old, cause I am, but I am really loving my folk these days, and this is right up there amongst the very best I’ve heard. Saw this guy play live a while back and was so impressed, I came home and downloaded this album immediately, as well as an e.p. This album for me totally conjures up images of old time black and white films from prohibition era America, but at the same time sounds so fresh. It’s basically bluegrass type folk/country music done very authentically with acoustic guitar of various types, fiddle and mandolin and great vocals. There is 11 tracks, 3 of which are “traditional”, though I personally think the 8 originals are all better, is that sacrilege?, sorry. The songwriting is awesome, amazing tunes and really great descriptive lyrics, all told a pretty faultless album from where I’m standing.
