Our Take
Our Take
Ben Bedford's The Hermit's Spyglass is a whimsical journey through the mind of a musical recluse. With a unique blend of folk, blues, and Americana influences, Bedford creates a sound that is both familiar and refreshingly original.
From the opening track, "The Hermit's Lament," Bedford's haunting vocals immediately draw you in, setting the tone for the rest of the album. His storytelling ability is on full display in tracks like "Shadow of the Valley" and "Ghost of the Mississippi," where he weaves vivid tales of love, loss, and redemption.
The instrumentation on The Hermit's Spyglass is equally impressive, with layers of acoustic guitar, banjo, and harmonica creating a rich sonic tapestry. Songs like "Whiskey River" and "The Devil's Backbone" showcase Bedford's musical prowess, while more introspective tracks like "Moonlit Serenade" and "Starlight Sonata" reveal his sensitive side.
Overall, The Hermit's Spyglass is a captivating listen that will transport you to another time and place. Bedford's poetic lyrics and soulful vocals combined with his masterful musicianship make this album a must-listen for anyone craving a musical escape. So grab a cup of tea, cozy up by the fire, and embark on a journey with Ben Bedford through The Hermit's Spyglass. You won't be disappointed.
