Our Take

When it comes to spoken word albums, Cerys Matthews' "Dylan Thomas - A Child's Christmas Poems" is a true standout. This album takes listeners on a whimsical journey through the magical world of Dylan Thomas' iconic poetry, beautifully narrated by the sultry voice of Matthews herself.

The album opens with "A Child's Christmas in Wales," a nostalgic tale of childhood wonder and innocence set against the backdrop of a snowy Welsh landscape. Matthews' delivery is enchanting, drawing listeners in with every word and transporting them to a time and place filled with Christmas joy.

From the playful "Five Christmases" to the poignant "It Snowed," Matthews' delivery is flawless, conveying the depth and beauty of Thomas' words with grace and precision.

While spoken word albums may not be everyone's cup of tea, "Dylan Thomas - A Child's Christmas Poems" is a rare gem that transcends genre boundaries. Matthews' masterful interpretation of Thomas' timeless poetry creates a truly immersive listening experience that is not to be missed. So grab a cup of mulled wine, settle in by the fire, and let Cerys Matthews take you on a magical journey this Christmas season. Trust us, you won't regret it.
