Our Take

In a world where mixtapes and EDM reign supreme, The Elizabethan Session is a delightful throwback to the days of yore, when lutes were luted and codpieces were... codpieced. This collaboration between some of the UK's finest folk musicians and a bunch of Shakespearean actors (because why not?) is as eccentric as it is enchanting.

From the moment the first dulcet tones of the lute drift through your speakers, you'll find yourself transported back to a time when the only way to show someone you cared was by penning them a sonnet with a quill pen. And let's be real, what's more romantic than a good old-fashioned candlelit serenade?

The album effortlessly blends traditional folk tunes with snippets of Shakespearean dialogue, creating a truly unique listening experience. Tracks like "O Mistress Mine" and "Peg-a-Ramsey" are toe-tappingly catchy, while others like "O Death, Rock Me Asleep" and "Farewell, Dear Love" tug at the heartstrings with their haunting melodies.

Sure, it may not be everyone's cup of tea (or should I say tankard of mead?), but if you're looking for something a little bit different to add to your music collection, The Elizabethan Session is well worth a listen. So grab your ruffle collar, dust off your doublet and hose, and prepare to be serenaded by the minstrels of olde England. Huzzah!
