Our Take
Our Take
Alasdair Roberts's latest album, "Grief In The Kitchen And Mirth In The Hall," is a delightfully whimsical journey through the depths of Scottish folk music. With his charmingly eccentric vocals and masterful command of traditional instrumentation, Roberts showcases his unparalleled talent in blending haunting melodies with witty, thoughtful lyricism.
The album opens with the haunting title track, setting the tone for a rollercoaster of emotions that takes listeners on a wild ride through grief and joy. Roberts's unique storytelling ability shines brightest on tracks like "The Two Brothers" and "The Green Grows Bonny," where he weaves intricate narratives that captivate the imagination.
What sets Roberts apart from other folk artists is his willingness to experiment with unconventional sounds and arrangements. From the hauntingly beautiful strings on "The Bloody Fields of Flanders" to the toe-tapping rhythms of "The White Hare," Roberts effortlessly blends tradition with innovation in a way that feels both timeless and refreshing.
Overall, "Grief In The Kitchen And Mirth In The Hall" is a masterclass in storytelling through music. Roberts's unique blend of sorrow and joy creates a deeply moving listening experience that will linger in your heart long after the final notes fade away. So grab a cup of tea, settle in by the fire, and let Alasdair Roberts whisk you away on a musical adventure like no other. Cheers to that!
