Our Take

Ah, Roland Roberts, the man, the myth, the English Elegy. This album is like a refreshing cup of tea on a rainy day - soothing, familiar, and just what you need to lift your spirits.

Roberts has a knack for blending traditional English folk with modern sensibilities, creating a sound that is both timeless and contemporary. The dulcet tones of his voice are like a warm hug, enveloping you in a sense of comfort and nostalgia.

Tracks like "The Ballad of the Bumblebee" and "The Roast Beef Jig" showcase Roberts' storytelling prowess, weaving tales of love, loss, and everything in between. The instrumentation is lush and vibrant, with each note carefully chosen to evoke a sense of whimsy and wonder.

However, there are moments where the album veers into overly sentimental territory, bordering on twee. While Roberts' charm and wit are undeniable, some tracks can feel a bit too saccharine for their own good.

Overall, An English Elegy is a delightful journey through the English countryside, filled with whimsical melodies and heartfelt lyrics. Roberts proves once again why he is a force to be reckoned with in the folk music scene.

So grab a cuppa, sit back, and let Roland Roberts serenade you with his enchanting tunes. You won't be disappointed. Cheers!
