Our Take

Irish folk legend Tommy Sands has delivered a delightful winter treat with his latest album, "To Shorten The Winter." Sands, known for his heartfelt storytelling and catchy melodies, does not disappoint on this record.

The opening track, "Winter Song," sets the tone with its nostalgic lyrics and soothing acoustic guitar. Sands' warm vocals invite listeners to cozy up by the fire and embrace the winter season.

Throughout the album, Sands showcases his versatility as a musician, seamlessly blending traditional Irish folk with hints of Americana and country influences. Tracks like "Christmas Time in the Morning" and "Snowfall" highlight Sands' knack for creating timeless, feel-good tunes that will have you humming along in no time.

But it's not all sweetness and light on "To Shorten The Winter." Sands also delves into more contemplative themes on tracks like "Dark December Day," where his poignant lyrics and haunting melodies transport listeners to a reflective state of mind.

Overall, Tommy Sands' "To Shorten The Winter" is a beautifully crafted album that perfectly captures the spirit of the season. Whether you're a die-hard folk fan or just looking for some cozy winter tunes, this album is sure to warm your heart and soul. So grab a cup of hot cocoa, throw on your favorite sweater, and let Tommy Sands serenade you through the winter months.
