The Bells
Margetoile, 2025
8/10
The inimitable vocalist, Margee Minier-Tubbs, brings her expressive voice to this holiday track that’s inspired by Edgar Allen Poe.
The lone song, “The Bells”, opens with dialogue before Premik Russell Tubbs’ rich sax enters alongside Todd Isler’s frisky drums and Steve Sandberg’s melodic keys.
During the 6+ minutes, Patrick Carmichael and Minier-Tubbs provide spoken word poetry amid Michael O’Brien’s playful bass and Zack Brock’s meticulous violin for the warm and spirited tune.
A charming spoken word duet, Minier-Tubbs pens a song that fits in well with any Christmas staple and is quite eloquent.
Travels well with: Lili Maljic- The Nearness Of You- In Loving Memory Of Jim Rotondi; Bonnie J Jensen- Rise
