Our Take

Hannah James and the JigDoll Ensemble have managed to whip up a delightful concoction of traditional folk music and contemporary storytelling in their latest album "The Woman and Her Words". With James at the forefront, leading with her mesmerizing vocals and masterful accordion playing, the ensemble weaves a tapestry of sound that is both nostalgic and fresh.
The album kicks off with the hauntingly beautiful track "The Woman and Her Words", setting the tone for what's to come. Each song is a journey in itself, with intricate arrangements and cleverly crafted lyrics that paint vivid pictures in the listener's mind. From the foot-stomping energy of "Hannah's Jig" to the heartbreaking ballad "Lament for the Lost", there is something for everyone on this record.
James and her ensemble are a tight-knit group, effortlessly bouncing off each other's energy and musicality. The production on the album is top-notch, with every instrument and vocal beautifully captured and mixed. It's clear that a lot of love and care went into the making of this album, and it shows in every note.
Overall, "The Woman and Her Words" is a triumph for Hannah James and the JigDoll Ensemble. It's a testament to their talent and creativity, and a must-listen for any fan of folk music. Grab a cup of tea, sit back, and let yourself be transported by the enchanting sounds of this album. Cheers, mates!
