Balto - October's Road

Balto is folk at it's best and it's most beautiful. When I first found Balto my first reaction was to try to compare them to some other artist. When in reality they're something totally unique and new. The bulk of the album was written after and inspired by the vocalist's trip through Siberia. He took in all that he experienced and created an album that catalogs his journey and the people he met. This theme isn't an underlining tone or something that you need to search for. It's right there from the beginning, and continues throughout the entire album.
