Our Take

Fay Hield's latest offering, "Old Adam," is a delightful romp through traditional British folk music that will have you tapping your feet and reaching for a pint of ale.

Hield's charming vocals are complemented by a talented band of musicians who bring a fresh, modern twist to these age-old tunes. The album kicks off with the upbeat title track, "Old Adam," which sets the tone for the rest of the record.

Tracks like "Green Gravel," "Queen Eleanor's Confession," and "Mary Vickers" showcase Hield's storytelling abilities, painting vivid pictures of a bygone era. The instrumentation is equally impressive, with banjos, fiddles, and guitars weaving intricate melodies that transport you straight to a quaint English village.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "I Wish," a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases Hield's emotive vocals. The stripped-down arrangement allows her voice to shine, proving that sometimes less is more.

Overall, "Old Adam" is a must-listen for fans of folk music, or anyone looking for a refreshing break from the mainstream. Fay Hield's passion for preserving and celebrating traditional music is evident in every note, making this album a true gem in the modern folk landscape.

Final Verdict: 8.5/10
