Our Take

RORY MCLEOD's latest album, The Glee And The Spark, is a playful and eccentric affair that showcases the artist's unique brand of folk-infused storytelling. Bursting with energy and charm, McLeod's witty lyricism and spirited delivery make for a thoroughly enjoyable listening experience.

From the foot-stomping rhythms of "Dance of the Goblins" to the tender balladry of "The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter," McLeod effortlessly traverses a range of musical styles and emotions. His charismatic vocals are complemented by an array of instruments, including fiddles, flutes, and even a washboard, adding layers of texture and depth to the songs.

But what truly sets The Glee And The Spark apart is McLeod's knack for storytelling. Whether he's spinning a yarn about lost love or dancing goblins, his vivid imagery and colorful characters leap off the record, pulling the listener into his enchanting world.

While some tracks may veer into the realm of the whimsical, McLeod's sincerity and passion shine through, grounding the album in heartfelt authenticity. With its infectious melodies and quirky charm, The Glee And The Spark is a delightful romp that will leave you tapping your toes and grinning from ear to ear.

In a world filled with cookie-cutter pop stars and overproduced tracks, Rory McLeod is a refreshing breath of fresh air. The Glee And The Spark is a testament to his talent and creativity, solidifying his status as a true original in the music industry. So grab your dancing shoes and join McLeod on this joyous musical journey – you won't be disappointed.
