Our Take

The Willis Clan's debut album, Chapter One: Roots, is a delightful fusion of Irish folk and American bluegrass, creating a sound that is as unique as it is infectious. This talented family band brings a fresh energy to traditional music, blending intricate vocal harmonies with skilful instrumentals to produce a toe-tapping blend of genres.

From the opening track, "Come with Me," to the hauntingly beautiful "Castle of Dromore," each song on Chapter One: Roots showcases the Willis Clan's exceptional musical abilities and undeniable chemistry. The vocals, led by matriarch Brenda Willis, are rich and soulful, while the instrumental arrangements, featuring banjo, fiddle, and guitar, are masterfully executed.

Standout tracks like "My Days" and "Wisp of a Thing" demonstrate the band's versatility, effortlessly blending heartfelt lyrics with joyful melodies. The Willis Clan's ability to effortlessly switch between upbeat anthems and introspective ballads is a testament to their musical prowess.

Despite their youth, the Willis Clan's songwriting is mature and nuanced, tackling themes of love, loss, and family with a refreshing honesty. With Chapter One: Roots, the Willis Clan have created a timeless album that pays homage to their musical heritage while forging a path all their own.

In conclusion, Chapter One: Roots is a dazzling debut from a band on the rise. The Willis Clan's infectious energy and undeniable talent make them a force to be reckoned with in the world of folk music. Don't sleep on this album - it's a must-listen for fans of traditional music with a modern twist.
