Albums

Within the space of these four songs Dex Wolfe ends up crafting something with great meaning, not just for these times, but virtually any time.

Kronos Quartet deliver an album of the highest quality, a great celebration of Pete Seeger, the justice he stood for and the encouragement to stand up for ourselves and our community, a great addition to any collection. Excellent.

VanWyck’s ‘God is in the Detour’ is one of those consistently rewarding albums that make your musical detour into perhaps new and previously unknown territory well worthwhile.

Their finest hour yet, a musically gentle listening experience, suffused with both love and sadness and, as the title implies, a reminder that while we may be apart our voices are not silenced.

Katy Carr’s Providence – Opatrznośc is unique, bold, innovative and, in many respects, brave. It is a totally immersive listen for those willing to lend their ears and dedicate time to it.

As a singer and songwriter, Sam Brookes is a national treasure, and Black Feathers suggests that if it takes another six years for another album, the wait will be worth it!

On ‘Getting Into Knives’, the Mountain Goats remind us that we have to sometimes look at the things we may not want to revisit in order to chart a more coherent path.

The first all-new material from Bruce Springsteen and his legendary E Street Band since 2012, this ‘Letter To You’ comes with a first-class stamp.

Their previous release was one of the most innovative folk albums of the last decade, and on Receiver they up their game even further. The Rheingans Sisters have created a masterpiece of modern folk music as well as a captivating physical artefact.

I may live hundreds of miles away from the mountain landscapes that Lauren experiences daily, but now, with this wonderfully evocative music, I have a very rapid route back to them.

‘From There To Here’ finds Jacqui McShee & Kevin Dempsey at their very best taking you to the heart of every song. It’s a pure and simple pleasure.

This Frontier Needs Heroes latest offering is a fairly low key, musically introspective affair, but allow it to seep into your soul and you’ll find that the flow will carry you along.
