Our Take
Our Take
Ewan McLennan's latest offering, "Stories Still Untold," is a delicate tapestry of traditional folk songs woven together with his own original compositions. McLennan's haunting vocals and immaculate fingerpicking skills transport listeners to the misty landscapes of the British Isles, where tales of love, loss, and rebellion have been passed down through generations.
The album opens with the title track, a poignant ballad that sets the tone for the rest of the record. McLennan's voice is a force of nature, capable of conveying a myriad of emotions with just a single note. As the album progresses, tracks like "Banks of Green Willow" and "Jamie Foyers" showcase McLennan's ability to breathe new life into classic songs while staying true to their roots.
But it's on the original compositions where McLennan truly shines. "Stand Up for Judas" is a powerful political anthem that resonates in today's turbulent times, while "Homeless" is a heartbreaking ballad that highlights McLennan's songwriting prowess.
Overall, "Stories Still Untold" is a masterful display of McLennan's talents as both a singer and a songwriter. With each track, he invites listeners to delve deep into the rich tapestry of British folk music, uncovering hidden gems and forgotten stories along the way. It's a journey worth taking, and one that will leave you humming these tunes long after the record has ended.
