Sky West & Crooked by Caitlin Grey is a Beautiful Tribute To Nostalgia

Sky West & Crooked is an intriguing song title enough. If you belong to the millennial or Gen Z, you must not have heard of this. It is a title of a 1966 English movie starring Ian McShane, directed by John Mills. I had to look it up and ended up watching the movie. 

All songs in this EP reflect that sort of 60s vibe with Celtic folk style. Grey’s voice is always better, but I encourage you to listen to this in Dolby Atmos for that 3D effect.

One of the songs is the reinterpretation of tracks we have already recorded by other artists like Loreena McKennitt and Clannad. I appreciate her contralto voice in this record because it sounds warm and expressive.

It is an EP you must play in the morning as you begin your day. Everything here sounds lucid and clear. It’s been a while since I got to write about artists in my network and enjoy their works on a deeper level. I encourage you to hear more of her works because she is an asset to the musical culture and community. So what does it take to be noticed? It is to express your artistic truth with ease and persistence.
