Our Take

Hailing from the heart of America's heartland, Madisen Ward & The Mama Bear deliver a homespun blend of folk and blues on their latest offering, The Skeleton Crew. This mother-son duo brings a refreshing simplicity to the often overproduced world of modern music, with just two voices and a guitar holding down the fort.

From the opening track "Whole Lotta Problems," it's clear that Madisen Ward's soulful vocals are the star of the show, soaring effortlessly over Mama Bear's intricate fingerpicking. The stripped-down arrangement allows the raw emotion of the lyrics to shine through, giving each song an intimate, almost haunting quality.

Tracks like "Yellow Taxi" and "Stranger" showcase the duo's ability to craft catchy melodies that stick in your head long after the record has finished spinning. And with poignant lyrics that touch on themes of love, loss, and redemption, The Skeleton Crew offers a glimpse into the hearts and minds of these talented musicians.

While some may dismiss Madisen Ward & The Mama Bear as just another folk revival act, there's a sincerity and authenticity to their music that sets them apart. In a world filled with auto-tuned pop stars and manufactured hits, it's refreshing to hear a duo who are unapologetically themselves.

With The Skeleton Crew, Madisen Ward & The Mama Bear have crafted a truly special album that is sure to stand the test of time. So grab a cup of tea, settle down by the fire, and let the music of this dynamic duo wash over you like a warm hug from an old friend. You won't be disappointed.
