Our Take

Step aside, Taylor Swift, because there's a new album grazing in the pastures of the music industry - JOHN KIRKPATRICK's "Sheepskins." This latest offering from the folk legend is a whimsical journey through the rolling hills of English countryside, complete with soaring melodies and toe-tapping rhythms.

KIRKPATRICK's signature accordion skills are on full display throughout "Sheepskins," adding a layer of depth and charm to each track. From the lively reels of "Sheep Dip" to the haunting ballad of "Ewe Are My Sunshine," the arrangements are as varied as the flock he tends to.

But it's not just KIRKPATRICK's musical prowess that shines on this album - his witty lyricism and clever wordplay are a delight to listen to. In the cheeky track "Baa-ry Manilow," he muses on the trials and tribulations of a love affair with a particularly stubborn sheep, all set to a catchy, sing-along chorus.

One of the standout moments on "Sheepskins" comes in the form of the ethereal instrumental track "Woolly Jumper," where KIRKPATRICK's accordion weaves a mesmerising tapestry of sound that truly transports the listener to the heart of the countryside.

Overall, "Sheepskins" is a triumph for JOHN KIRKPATRICK, showcasing his unparalleled talent and unique perspective on the world around him. So grab your wellies, pour yourself a pint of cider, and settle in for a musical journey that's as warm and comforting as a freshly sheared fleece.
