David Snell - Harp And Soul Review
David Snell's Harp And Soul-yeah, that 1966 LP-is one of those records you stumble on while digging through crates, half expecting to hate it, then end up playing it three times in a row. It's not flashy. Doesn't scream for attention. But damn if it doesn't settle into your bones after a while. Snell, mostly known as a session harpist and later a film score conductor, steps out here as both player and co-conductor (alongside Johnny Scott, who also handles flute and orchestra duties). And honestly? He holds his own. First off, the harp. You'd think it'd be twee. Or worse-background noise for a department store in 1972. But Snell doesn't let it get syrupy. He's got this dry, almost percussive touch...
