Ukulele Album Roundup

With life getting in the way of this ukulele blog, I have been finding it hard to get reviews done as quickly as I would like. And as part of that I have a stack of ukulele albums that I have been listening to that I haven't got around to reviewing on this site as yet. Feeling guilty about that, I figured I would give them a shout out in a combined roundup of what I have been playing in the last few months.



Manitoba Hal - Dancing In The Moonlight

I adored Hals 'Flirting With Mermaids' album, and have seen him perform live a couple of times since then, so have really been enjoying this one. The Canadian bluesman really shines on this short album in what sees his blues show of more of their country side (which is a real love of mine). A mix of originals and covers (including a sublime take on Wayfaring Stranger) I thoroughly enjoyed this one and it cements his position as being one of this bloggers favourite ukulele artists.

Catching up with the ukulele review schedule and a new brand for me that I have had on loan for some time now from Southern Ukulele Store. PSI Ukuleles and their PSI-S-LEO II Tenor uke from their Standard Series range.

I will down score if there are issues with how it is applied, but let's carry on.
