Album Review: VIKESH KAPOOR - The Ballad Of Willy Robbins

In the latest offering from folk troubadour Vikesh Kapoor, The Ballad of Willy Robbins tells the story of a down-and-out drifter in the American heartland. Kapoor's distinctive voice weaves through tales of love, loss, and redemption with a melancholic charm that is both haunting and comforting.

The album opens with the eerie "Holding Steady," a slow burn of a track that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Kapoor's poetic lyrics paint a picture of a man on the edge, grappling with his demons as he navigates the harsh realities of life on the road.

As the album progresses, Kapoor's storytelling prowess shines through on tracks like "Down by the River," a heartfelt ode to lost love, and "Blue Eyed Baby," a toe-tapping tune that belies its darker themes. Kapoor's ability to effortlessly blend catchy melodies with thought-provoking lyrics is a testament to his songwriting skills.

The standout track on the album is undoubtedly "Remember Me," a soulful ballad that showcases Kapoor's raw emotion and vulnerability. His haunting vocals soar over a sparse arrangement, creating a sense of intimacy that is both heartbreaking and beautiful.

Overall, The Ballad of Willy Robbins is a captivating listen that will resonate with fans of thoughtful, introspective folk music. Kapoor's unique blend of storytelling and musicality sets him apart in a crowded genre, making this album a must-listen for music lovers everywhere.
