Our Take
Our Take
Megson's latest offering, "Smoke of Home," is a delightful romp through the fields of folk music, a genre that these Sheffield natives have truly made their own. The duo's harmonies are as tight as a pair of skinny jeans on a hipster, and their instrumentation is as infectious as a cold in winter.
From the opening track, "A River Never Crossed," to the closing notes of "The Hand That Holds the Bread," Megson take listeners on a musical journey that is both familiar and fresh. The album is a true ode to the beauty of the British countryside, with lyrics that paint vivid pictures of rolling hills, misty valleys, and muddy boots.
But don't be fooled by the pastoral imagery – "Smoke of Home" is an album with bite. Tracks like "Black Earth" and "Blood Red/Jack in the Green" showcase Megson's edgier side, with lyrics that touch on everything from political unrest to the struggles of everyday life. And let's not forget the stand-out track, "Sacred Knot," a haunting ballad that is sure to send shivers down your spine.
In conclusion, "Smoke of Home" is a triumph for Megson, a duo who continue to push the boundaries of folk music with their unique blend of traditional and contemporary sounds. So grab a pint, kick off your wellies, and let the smoke of home wrap around you like a warm embrace.
