Molasses Creek - Ocracoke Island

Review by Lionel Barnabas Low

Molasses Creek's album, Ocracoke Island, is a delightful collection of songs that perfectly captures the essence of the island's culture and lifestyle. The band's unique blend of folk, bluegrass, and country music creates a sound that is both authentic and timeless.

The album's opening track, "Ocracoke Island," sets the tone for the rest of the album, with its upbeat tempo and catchy lyrics. The song celebrates the island's natural beauty and laid-back lifestyle, making it the perfect introduction to the album.

Other standout tracks include "Fishin' Blues," a lively tune that pays tribute to the island's fishing traditions, and "Sail Away Ladies," a foot-stomping bluegrass number that showcases the band's impressive musicianship.

Throughout the album, Molasses Creek's harmonies are spot-on, and their instrumentation is top-notch. The band's use of traditional instruments, such as the fiddle, banjo, and mandolin, gives the album an authentic feel that is hard to replicate.
