Album Review: HUTCHINGS/NICOL – Copper Russet And Gold

In the ever-evolving landscape of folk music, it’s refreshing to see artists like HUTCHINGS/NICOL continue to push boundaries and challenge conventions. Their latest offering, Copper Russet And Gold, is a testament to their ability to blend traditional British folk with modern sensibilities, creating a sound that is both timeless and cutting-edge.

From the opening track, it’s clear that HUTCHINGS/NICOL are not afraid to experiment with different textures and sounds. The haunting melodies of “The Green Hills of Tyrol” give way to the foot-stomping rhythms of “The Cuckoo’s Nest,” showcasing the duo’s versatility and range.

Lyrically, Copper Russet And Gold delves into themes of love, loss, and the beauty of the natural world. Songs like “The Willow Tree” and “The Merman’s Lament” paint vivid portraits of life in rural England, with poignant storytelling and heartfelt emotion.

But what truly sets HUTCHINGS/NICOL apart is their impeccable musicianship. From Nicola Hutchings’ ethereal vocals to Richard Nicol’s masterful guitar work, every note is delivered with precision and passion. The result is an album that is as technically impressive as it is emotionally engaging.

In a genre that can sometimes feel stuck in its ways, HUTCHINGS/NICOL are a breath of fresh air. Copper Russet And Gold is a beautiful, captivating journey that will leave listeners spellbound from start to finish. Don’t sleep on this dynamic duo – they’re destined for greatness.
