Our Take

Grit Laskin's latest offering, "Earthly Concerns," is a captivating blend of folk and acoustic sounds that will transport you to another dimension - specifically, the dimension where you can't stop tapping your foot. With his signature intricate fingerpicking style and soulful vocals, Laskin weaves a tapestry of stories that are as thought-provoking as they are toe-tapping.

From the hauntingly beautiful "In the Shadows of the Moon" to the rollicking "Dancing with the Trees," each track on this album is a gem in its own right. Laskin's lyrics are poetic and profound, touching on themes of love, loss, and our connection to the natural world. The instrumentation is equally impressive, with lush strings and hypnotic rhythms that pull you in from the very first note.

But what truly sets "Earthly Concerns" apart is Laskin's uncanny ability to make the listener feel like they are sitting right beside him, sharing a cup of tea and swapping stories. His warmth and authenticity shine through in every note, making this album a must-listen for fans of folk music and acoustic storytelling.

In conclusion, Grit Laskin's "Earthly Concerns" is a triumph of songwriting and musicianship that will leave you wanting more. So grab a cuppa, settle in, and let yourself be transported by the enchanting sounds of this remarkable album. Cheers to you, Grit Laskin, for yet another masterpiece.
