Singer-songwriter Jodee James lavishes a particularly gorgeous, vibrato-laden soprano to lovely effect on the almost Middle Eastern-tinged Welsh folk tune, "Trafaeliais y Byd." Simple, rhythmic acoustic guitar accompaniment perfectly offsets the achingly romantic vocals.
Jodee James sings the ancient tales and timeless themes of loyalty, love and trial. Singing songs in both English and Welsh, Jodee’s vocals are touching and intimate. She conjures the essence of tradition, whether of this past century or times before. In traditional songs and her original song-stories, Jodee captivates her audience, revealing Celtic “ways” as they have been over the ages, in such mythic figures as Rhiannon, Branwen, Arthur, Merlin, Taliesin and others from the engaging tales of the Welsh Mabinogion. Nobles, shepherds, lovers and inspiring heroes all come to life in Jodee’s music.
