Our Take
The latest offering from folk music legend Walter Pardon, "A World Without Horses," is a charming journey into a world where equines are conspicuously absent. Pardon's distinctive vocals transport the listener to a place where the hoofbeats are replaced by... well, silence, I suppose. The album opens with the haunting track "Horsing Around," in which Pardon laments the absence of his four-legged friends. The melancholy lyrics are set against a backdrop of delicate acoustic guitar and subtle fiddle, creating a sense of wistfulness that is both captivating and slightly bizarre. Pardon's songwriting remains as quirky and endearing as ever on tracks like "Stable Love" and "Neigh-sayers," where he weaves tales of lost love and existential pondering without ever straying into cliché. His ability to evoke a sense of longing and whimsy with a few simple chords is truly remarkable. Throughout "A World Without Horses," Pardon's musicianship shines through, showcasing his mastery of traditional folk techniques while also adding his own unique twist. The album may not be for everyone, but for those willing to embrace its eccentricities, it offers a truly enchanting listening experience. So saddle up, grab your headphones, and prepare to gallop into a world that is as odd as it is wonderful.
