Talbert St. Claire
 The Low Whistles are
considered one of the most haunting instruments being played today, not only in the Celtic world, but the world throughout. Its popularity
is enormous! One such album featuring this instrument is: "Tears of the Forest: Mystical Journey". The Artist is Talbert St. Claire. Being
a self-taught musician, Talbert says, "It's an album that blends together Celtic slow-airs along with the instrumentations of Eastern
India, Native American, environmental elements, various synthesizers, Acoustic Guitars, Bass Guitars and various other effects." All of
these elements strongly support the soulful and haunting approach to the overall theme. Talbert began playing the Low Whistles years ago
after hearing Davy Spillane perform with them! Talbert & Davy Spillane have become good friends over the years.
This album has given Talbert the chance to demonstrate his own personal style and creativity in using the Low Whistles! He quotes, "I love
traditional Irish music. Yet, being part African-American and part Scottish, the New Age palate really appeals to me. Also, in recording
this album I wanted To produce something that demonstrated the "emotions" behind the Low Whistle's, rather than a fully layered recording
with lots of backing!
A "simple" album with lots of feeling was the "sole" purpose for " Tears Of The Forest". Meditative in nature, but definitely "soulful!"
