Our Take

Ah, The Gauntlet by Nathan Rogers. A true gem of an album that deftly bobs and weaves through a magical tapestry of folk melodies and heartfelt lyrics. Rogers, the son of Canadian folk legend Stan Rogers, has clearly inherited his father's gift for storytelling and musical prowess.

From the opening track, "The Gauntlet," with its haunting harmonies and driving rhythm, it's clear that Rogers is a force to be reckoned with in the folk music scene. His voice is rich and emotive, carrying the weight of his lyrics with precision and grace.

Tracks like "The Willow" and "The Sailor's Lament" showcase Rogers' ability to transport listeners to another time and place, weaving tales of love, loss, and adventure with a deft touch. The instrumentation on these songs is equally impressive, with lush string arrangements and intricate guitar work adding depth and texture to the overall sound.

But it's not all seriousness and melancholy on The Gauntlet. Tracks like "The Jig of Slurs" and "The Blacksmith" inject a healthy dose of energy and humour into the mix, showcasing Rogers' playful side and his ability to get audiences up and dancing.

Overall, The Gauntlet is a triumph of an album that cements Nathan Rogers' status as a rising star in the folk music world. With its rich storytelling, impeccable musicianship, and infectious energy, this is an album that is sure to delight both longtime fans and newcomers alike. Don't miss out on this musical journey - it's one you won't soon forget.
