Our Take

Shirley Collins' latest offering, "The Power of the True Love Knot," is a delightful journey through traditional folk music that is as charming as it is enchanting. Collins, a true legend in the genre, effortlessly weaves together tales of love, loss, and longing with her hauntingly beautiful vocals and masterful instrumentation. From the opening track, "Awake Awake," Collins' voice transports listeners to a bygone era where troubadours roamed the land, spreading stories of old. The album's title track, "The Power of the True Love Knot," is a standout moment, with Collins' ethereal voice soaring over intricate melodies that tug at the heartstrings. Throughout the album, Collins showcases her unmatched storytelling ability, painting vivid pictures with her lyrics that evoke a sense of nostalgia and longing. Tracks like "Reynardine" and "The Silver Swan" showcase Collins' ability to breathe new life into traditional folk songs, making them feel fresh and modern while still paying homage to their roots. "The Power of the True Love Knot" is a testament to Collins' enduring talent and influence in the world of folk music. With this album, she proves once again why she is a force to be reckoned with in the industry. So slip on your finest tweed jacket, pour yourself a cup of Earl Grey, and let Shirley Collins whisk you away on a magical musical journey that is sure to leave you spellbound.
