Our Take

Ah, Cass McCombs, the enigmatic troubadour of our time, has graced us with yet another rich tapestry of folk-tinged melodies in his latest opus, "A Folk Set Apart". This collection of 19 tracks takes listeners on a sonic journey through McCombs' vast musical landscape, filled with tales of love, loss, and everything in between.

From the haunting opener "I Cannot Lie" to the rollicking "The Executioner's Song", McCombs showcases his trademark storytelling prowess, weaving intricate lyrical tapestries that draw the listener in with each passing verse. His distinctive voice, at times reminiscent of a young Bob Dylan, adds an undeniable charm to each track, pulling at the heartstrings while simultaneously sparking a sense of wanderlust.

Throughout the album, McCombs demonstrates his versatility as a songwriter, effortlessly blending elements of folk, country, and even a hint of psychedelia to create a sound that is uniquely his own. Tracks like "Bum Bum Bum" and "Dreams Come True Girl" showcase his knack for crafting catchy melodies that stick with you long after the record stops spinning.

Overall, "A Folk Set Apart" is a testament to McCombs' enduring talent and creativity, solidifying his status as one of the most captivating voices in contemporary folk music. So, grab your favourite record player, pour yourself a glass of whiskey, and let Cass McCombs take you on a journey through the magical world of his music. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
