大原治三 - 根無し草

Review by Alexandre Gamela

The album 根無し草 by 大原治三 is a beautiful and moving collection of Japanese folk songs. From the opening track, "Soran Bushi," to the closing track, "Tsugaru Jongara Bushi," the album is a masterful showcase of 大原治三's skill as a singer and guitarist.

The songs on the album are simple and heartfelt, with lyrics that speak of love, loss, and the beauty of the natural world. The arrangements are sparse and delicate, with 大原治三's guitar work providing a gentle accompaniment to his soulful vocals.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Akita Nikata Bushi," a haunting ballad that tells the story of a woman who must leave her home and loved ones behind to marry a man in a distant land. The song is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices that people must sometimes make in order to find happiness.

Summary by Alexandre Gamela

根無し草 is a beautiful and touching album that showcases the best of Japanese folk music. Whether you are a fan of the genre or simply appreciate good music, this album is definitely worth a listen.
