Our Take

Canadian folk singer-songwriter David Francey has returned with his latest album, "The First Set," and let me tell you, this isn't your typical campfire acoustic jam. Francey, known for his emotive storytelling and intricate melodies, has truly outdone himself this time.

From the first track, "I Know It Won't," Francey's raspy yet reassuring voice draws you in like a warm hug from an old friend. The lyrics, brimming with nostalgia and longing, hit you right in the feels. It's like he's pouring his heart out on a platter and serving it up with a side of raw emotion.

But don't get too comfortable, because Francey isn't afraid to shake things up. Tracks like "High Walls" and "Falling Apart" showcase a more experimental side to his songwriting, with unexpected chord progressions and dynamic shifts that keep you on your toes.

"The First Set" is a rollercoaster of emotions, from the bittersweet nostalgia of "The Mill" to the hopeful optimism of "Morning Train." Francey's songwriting is as sharp as ever, painting vivid pictures with his words and melodies.

Overall, "The First Set" is a triumph for David Francey, showcasing his growth as a musician while staying true to his roots. So grab a cup of tea, curl up by the fire, and let this album wash over you like a soothing blanket on a cold winter's night. You won't be disappointed.
