Our Take

If we could, we would give Hedy West - Vol 2 a standing ovation from the comfort of our own home. This album is a delightful mix of folk tunes and heartfelt lyrics that will transport you to the rolling hills of the English countryside faster than you can say "cucumber sandwich".

Hedy West's voice is like a warm hug from your nan after a long day at the cricket pitch - familiar, comforting, and oh-so-British. Each track on this album is a little gem, shining brightly with West's undeniable talent and charm.

From the toe-tapping rhythms of "The Snows They Melt the Soonest" to the haunting beauty of "Johnny's Gone for a Soldier", Hedy West - Vol 2 is a journey through the rich tapestry of British folk music. It's like taking a stroll through a quaint village, popping in and out of cosy little pubs with a pint of ale in hand.

So grab your favourite tweed jacket, pour yourself a cuppa, and let Hedy West serenade you with her timeless melodies. This album is a must-listen for any music lover looking for a taste of old-fashioned charm with a modern twist. Cheers to Hedy West for bringing a bit of jolly old England into our homes - we can't wait to see what she brews up next!

About the artist

Hedy West

Hedy West is a name that may not ring a bell for the casual music fan, but within the inner circles of folk music aficionados, she is a legend in her own right. Born in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains, West was steeped in the tradition of American folk music from a young age, learning the dulcimer and banjo before she could even tie her own shoelaces. Her music is a blend of traditional folk tunes and contemporary social commentary, with lyrics that cut deep and melodies that stick in your head for days on end. West's voice is a force to be reckoned with, a mix of honey and gravel that can convey both tenderness and strength in equal measure. Despite her prodigious talent, West never quite achieved mainstream success, preferring to stay true to her roots and eschew the trappings of fame. But for those in the know, her albums are treasured gems, each one a snapshot of a bygone era when music was more than just a commodity. In an industry that is often dominated by flashy pop stars and manufactured boy bands, Hedy West is a breath of fresh air, a reminder of the power of simplicity and authenticity in music. So next time you're in the mood for some real, honest-to-goodness folk music, do yourself a favor and give Hedy West a listen. You won't regret it.
