Our Take

The Newport Broadsingers have returned with a collection of songs that will leave you questioning whether you've accidentally stumbled into a time warp back to the 16th century. This eclectic group of artists has put together a diverse mix of traditional British folk tunes that range from hauntingly beautiful to downright toe-tapping.

From the opening track, "The Ballad of Sir Patrick Spens," you'll find yourself transported to a misty, moody landscape where the wind whispers ancient secrets and the haunting melodies of the Broadsingers echo through the trees. It's a far cry from the slick production and polished vocals of modern pop, but that's exactly what makes this album so refreshing.

Tracks like "The Jolly Bold Robber" and "The Bonny Ship the Diamond" will have you tapping your foot and singing along, while slower ballads like "The Twa Corbies" will send shivers down your spine. The Broadsingers' harmonies are tight, their arrangements are inventive, and their commitment to the authenticity of these traditional songs is unwavering.

So grab a tankard of mead, light a fire in the hearth, and settle in for a journey through the British countryside with the Newport Broadsingers. It may not be the kind of music you'd find on the top 40 charts, but sometimes you need a little history lesson to remind you of the rich tapestry of musical traditions that have shaped our modern world. Cheers to the Broadsingers for keeping the flame of folk music burning bright.
