In
the fall of 1975, in front of about 200 people who were attending a
wedding anniversary in Toronto, Canada, armed with an accordion, guitar,
mandolin and electronic rhythm box, a tine newly-created band named
Solovey played publicly
for the first time. Nine years later during the Ukrainian New Year's
celebration in Toronto, a group of eight young men, all smartly dressed
in black tuxedos, stood on a stage and gazed in awe at a magnificent,
elegant ballroom filled with 2000 people who were ready to kick up their
heels and dance the night away. Only one thought was running through
the minds of the musicians: years of hard work and total devotion to
their craft had paid off, culminating in this exciting evening which
served only to emphasize the point - Solovey was indeed a success! "Let
Time Drift By" is Solovey's second album. As the title indicates, the
passage of time is not something that the band fears or dwells on. In
fact time has served only to enrich the band members' musical skill and
creativity and increase their love for music, especially their
admiration for the beauty of Ukrainian lyrics and melodies. The band's
style has changed significantly over the years, partially due to the
addition of new members, but even more so because of the progression to
writing original material. Seven songs on this album are original
compositions by band members. This is a direction Solovey intends to
continue to follow in the future, and at the same time wishes to
encourage other talented songwriters to utilize their gift in order to
create innovative music which preserves the spirit and feeling of the
Ukrainian tradition, while tastefully incorporating current trends and
themes.
