Peace in this Land is Open Road Folk Music’s latest foray into the folk genre, showing exactly why they’ve become so beloved to us. It’s a fairly quiet and subtle sounding song at first, but there’s a greater depth and beauty that only starts to fully appear after multiple visits. The main instrumentation comes from a pretty fingerpicked acoustic guitar, alongside some haunting harmonica solos that appear every so often, eventually bringing Peace in this Land to a suitable close. And who can forget the lyrics, containing beautiful sentiments that really resonated with me at the moment, due to the current state of the world.
