Our Take

Fred Katz's "Folk Songs For Far Out Folks" is a delightful romp through traditional tunes with a quirky twist. Katz, known for his innovative approach to jazz and folk music, brings his signature style to these classic British folk songs.

From the moment the album starts, you can feel the playfulness and creativity Katz brings to each track. The combination of his unique cello playing and the eclectic arrangements make for a truly memorable listening experience.

Tracks like "Greensleeves" and "The Water is Wide" are given new life with Katz's inventive interpretations, while the instrumental tracks showcase his virtuosity on the cello. The album as a whole has a whimsical, almost whimsical quality that is sure to put a smile on your face.

One of the standout moments on the album is Katz's cover of "Scarborough Fair," which sees him infusing the song with a jazzy edge that is both unexpected and delightful. His playful approach to the traditional tune is a prime example of the magic he brings to these folk songs.

Overall, "Folk Songs For Far Out Folks" is a must-listen for anyone looking for a fresh take on classic folk music. Katz's talent and creativity shine through on every track, making this album a true gem in the world of folk music.
