Our Take

Alan Bell's latest album, "The Cocklers," is a delightful romp through folk and sea shanties that is as charming as it is unpredictable. With his signature blend of whimsical storytelling and toe-tapping melodies, Bell takes listeners on a journey that is both nostalgic and fresh.

One standout track is "The Ballad of Lucy Gray," a poignant tale of lost love and longing that is sure to tug at the heartstrings of even the most stoic listener. Bell's emotive vocals and evocative lyrics paint a vivid picture of a bygone era, while the lush instrumentation creates a rich tapestry of sound that is both melancholic and uplifting.

Overall, "The Cocklers" is a gem of an album that showcases Alan Bell's exceptional talent as a songwriter and performer.
