Our Take
Our Take
Ah, Strangers in the Room - a journey through the British folk rock scene from 1967 to 1973. A time when bearded men sang about goblins and maidens, and young women crooned about meadows and forests. This compilation takes us back to a time when the music was as wild and free as the hair on its musicians.
From Fairport Convention to Pentangle, this album is a treasure trove of toe-tapping tunes and psychedelic melodies. Each track is like a time capsule, transporting us back to a smoky bar in London or a sunny festival field.
The outfit truly shines on tracks like Fairport Convention's "Who Knows Where the Time Goes?" and Pentangle's "Light Flight." The haunting vocals and intricate instrumentation create a dreamy atmosphere that is nothing short of magical.
But let's not forget the deeper cuts, like Trees' "Glasgerion" and Fotheringay's "The Sea." These songs have a dark edge that adds a layer of mystery to the album.
Overall, Strangers in the Room is a must-listen for any folk rock aficionado. It's a nostalgic trip down memory lane that will have you dusting off your old vinyl collection and dreaming of a simpler, more whimsical time. So grab your tambourine and join us on this musical journey through the British folk rock scene.
