Roots fans rejoice! Fearing & White is a double dose of bluesy, Celtic sound from artists Stephen Fearing and Andy White. Hailing from Canada, Fearing has finally collaborated with long-time friend and musician Andy White to produce the pair’s debut album. With 19 solo albums between them, Fearing & White are not short on any creativity, as evidenced on this 13-track disc. The album features instant classics, such as the emotional Say You Will, the Irish-influenced Heart O’ The Morning and the groovy beats of Mothership. Whatever impression either of these artists has left on you only grows fonder with this collaboration. Tastefully mixing emotion with mystery, you’ll find yourself listening to this album track after track, and craving more.
