Our Take

June Tabor's latest album, "Ashore," is like taking a leisurely stroll along the cliffs of Dover, with the wind in your hair and a cup of tea in hand. The folk singer's haunting vocals transport you to a world where time stands still and every note is a poignant reminder of the beauty and fragility of life. From the opening track, "The Bleacher Lassie of Kelvinhaugh," Tabor's voice weaves a mesmerizing spell that lingers long after the last chord fades away. With its haunting melodies and thought-provoking lyrics, this album is a masterclass in storytelling through song. Songs like "The Oggie Man" and "Ashore" showcase Tabor's impeccable musicianship, while tracks like "The Cuckoo" and "Shining Ship" tug at the heartstrings with their raw emotion and honesty. Each song is a gem in its own right, shining like a beacon in a sea of mediocrity. Tabor's collaboration with musicians like Huw Warren and Tim Harries adds a depth and richness to the album, creating a lush soundscape that is a joy to listen to. If you're looking for an album that will take you on a musical journey through the highs and lows of life, then "Ashore" is the perfect choice. So grab a cuppa, sit back, and let June Tabor's enchanting voice wash over you like the waves crashing against the shore. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
