Siena Root - Mountain Songs (CD single)
Nasoni

file under Hardrock / AOR

Winston: It doesn’t occur much that I find a blues rock CD on my doormat but when it does I do can appreciate it. Recently I received a CD single from Siena Root called ‘Mountain Songs’ with two songs on it and this single is meant as an appetizer, it should make me ‘impatient’ for their next album, or so the press announcement tells me. Maybe that’s a bit too optimistic but the music does sound tasteful. The Swedish band released their debut album ‘A New Day Dawning’ last year which was well received. The band has a new singer with Sanya now and I hear some similarities with our own Anouk from The Hague. The songs ‘Mountain I’ and ‘Mountain II’ reveal the musicality of Siena Root perfectly; groovy blues rock with strong vocals. Really nice but just when you get into it the CD stops. But to say I’m impatient now? Well…ok a bit.
