Our Take

Seth Lakeman's latest offering, "Ballads Of The Broken Few," is a refreshing take on the folk genre that manages to both soothe the soul and get your foot tapping. Lakeman's signature haunting vocals and masterful fiddle playing are on full display throughout the album, creating a sense of intimacy that draws listeners in from the very first track.

The addition of the female vocal trio Wildwood Kin adds a new dimension to Lakeman's sound, with their harmonies adding depth and emotion to each song. The chemistry between Lakeman and Wildwood Kin is palpable, creating a symbiotic relationship that elevates each track to new heights.

From the melancholic "Willow Tree" to the foot-stomping "Pulling Hard Against The Stream," "Ballads Of The Broken Few" is a masterclass in storytelling through music. Lakeman's lyrics are poetic and evocative, painting vivid pictures of love, loss, and redemption.

Overall, "Ballads Of The Broken Few" is a triumph for Lakeman and a testament to his skill as a musician and songwriter. It's an album that will have you reaching for the repeat button and yearning for more. So grab yourself a pint of ale, sit back, and let the magic of Seth Lakeman's music wash over you. It's an experience you won't soon forget. Cheers!
