Our Take

Fairport Convention, the legendary folk rock band from the UK, are back with their latest album "Fame and Glory". And let me tell you, this album is like a fine wine - it only gets better with age. From the moment you press play, you're transported to a world of lush harmonies, intricate melodies, and toe-tapping rhythms. The band's signature blend of traditional folk music and rock sensibilities is on full display here, and it's a joy to listen to. The standout track on the album has to be "The King and Queen of England". With its catchy chorus, infectious energy, and killer guitar solo, this song is sure to get stuck in your head for days. It's a modern-day folk anthem that will have you singing along at the top of your lungs. But "Fame and Glory" isn't all about high-energy bangers. Tracks like "The Pigeon on the Gate" and "The Churlish May" showcase the band's more introspective side, with haunting vocals and thoughtful lyrics that will tug at your heartstrings. In conclusion, "Fame and Glory" is a triumphant return for Fairport Convention. It's a reminder of why they're considered one of the greatest folk rock bands of all time, and a testament to their enduring talent and creativity. So do yourself a favor and give this album a listen - you won't be disappointed.
