Our Take

Kate Rusby's latest album, "Light Years," is a delightful journey through the ethereal world of folk music. The Yorkshire songbird's haunting vocals soar effortlessly over exquisite melodies, transporting listeners to a whimsical realm of storytelling and pure emotion.

From the dreamy opener "Jenny" to the foot-stomping energy of "I Shall Be So Lucky," Rusby showcases her mastery of both traditional and original tunes. Each track is a treasure trove of intricately woven musical textures, with layers of fiddles, guitars, and banjos creating a rich sonic tapestry that is as enchanting as it is captivating.

"Light Years" is a testament to Rusby's undeniable talent and a testament to the enduring power of folk music. It's an album that will make you want to curl up by the fire with a cup of tea and lose yourself in its timeless beauty. Trust me, you don't want to miss this folk gem.
