Our Take

SPIERS & BODEN - The Works

Rating: 8.7

If there was ever an album that epitomized the term "folky goodness," it would be SPIERS & BODEN's latest offering, The Works. This dynamic duo has been a mainstay in the British folk music scene for years, and with this album, they prove why they're still on top.

From the first track, "The Birth of Robin Hood," you're immediately transported to a world of whimsy and wonder. The intricate instrumentation and perfect harmonies showcase the incredible talent these two musicians possess. It's clear they have truly honed their craft over the years, and the result is nothing short of magical.

Tracks like "The Rufford Park Poachers" and "Bold Sportsmen All" showcase SPIERS & BODEN's ability to tell captivating stories through their music. Each song feels like a journey, taking the listener on a ride through the English countryside and beyond.

But what truly sets The Works apart is the band's sense of fun and playfulness. Songs like "Tom Padget" and "Country Life" are infectiously catchy, with melodies that will be stuck in your head for days on end. It's impossible not to tap your foot along to the music and smile at the pure joy that SPIERS & BODEN bring to each track.

In conclusion, The Works is a must-listen for any fans of folk music. SPIERS & BODEN have once again proven why they're legends in the genre, and this album is a true testament to their talent and creativity. Don't miss out on this gem of an album - it's a real treat for the ears.
