Our Take

Martin Carthy, the folk legend himself, has given us quite the introduction with his latest album "An Introduction To". Much like an English breakfast, this record serves up a hearty dose of traditional folk tunes with a side of seasoned guitar playing. From the moment the needle hits the groove, Carthy's intricate fingerpicking and soulful vocals transport you to a quaint English countryside pub, pint in hand, swaying along to the gentle melodies. Tracks like "Scarborough Fair" and "The Trees They Do Grow High" showcase Carthy's storytelling prowess, weaving tales of love, loss, and everything in between. Each song feels like a chapter in a well-worn book, passed down through generations of folk musicians. But don't be fooled by the album's title – this is no mere introduction. Carthy's seasoned expertise shines through in every note, proving why he is hailed as one of the greats in the folk music scene. So grab your lute, don your finest tweed, and immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of sound that is "An Introduction To". Martin Carthy may be introducing you to his music, but we guarantee you'll be coming back for seconds.
