Our Take

In the realm of folk rock, Ashley Hutchings' latest offering, "Rattlebone & Ploughjack," is a whimsical journey through the English countryside that will have you tapping your feet and reaching for your pint of ale.

From the opening track, "The Rutland Reel," Hutchings sets the tone with a rollicking fiddle melody that transports listeners to a quaint village fête. The infectious energy continues throughout the album, with tracks like "The Acklington Shot" and "The Leslie Downs Fox Chase" showcasing Hutchings' skill as a master storyteller, weaving tales of love, loss, and the occasional pint of cider.

But what truly sets "Rattlebone & Ploughjack" apart is the eclectic instrumentation that Hutchings employs. From the twangy banjo on "The Sussex Cotillion" to the haunting accordion on "The Whitby Lad's lament," each track is a sonic delight that keeps listeners on their toes.

Of course, no review of "Rattlebone & Ploughjack" would be complete without mentioning Hutchings' distinctive voice. Equal parts gravelly and melodic, his vocals lend a sense of authenticity to the album, grounding it in the rich tradition of English folk music.

So grab your wellies, pour yourself a pint, and prepare to be swept away by the infectious charm of Ashley Hutchings' "Rattlebone & Ploughjack." It's a rollicking good time that will have you dancing along in no time. Cheers!
