Our Take

Shirley Collins' latest album, "The Sweet Primeroses," is a delightful romp through the folk music landscape, perfectly capturing the essence of traditional English tunes with a modern twist. Collins' haunting vocals are as captivating as ever, evoking a sense of nostalgia and longing for a bygone era. From the toe-tapping reels to the heartfelt ballads, each track on the album showcases Collins' impeccable musicianship and deep connection to the songs she performs. The instrumentation is expertly arranged, with lush strings and subtle percussion adding depth and texture to the overall sound. Standout tracks include the haunting "Just as the Tide was A-Flowing" and the rollicking "The Lady and the Dragoon," both of which highlight Collins' unique ability to breathe new life into age-old songs. The album is a masterclass in folk music, showcasing Collins' unparalleled talent and passion for the genre. Overall, "The Sweet Primeroses" is a must-listen for fans of traditional English folk music and newcomers alike. Collins' timeless voice and enchanting melodies make this album a true standout in her already impressive discography. So sit back, pour yourself a cup of tea, and let Shirley Collins whisk you away to a magical world of music and storytelling. Trust us, you won't regret it.
