As the album progresses, Simpson takes us on a musical rollercoaster, exploring themes of love, loss, and redemption with a raw honesty that is both refreshing and endearing. Tracks like "Golden Vanity" and "Outlandish Knight" showcase Simpson's storytelling prowess, while songs like "Handsome Molly" and "The Times They Are A-Changin'" demonstrate his ability to breathe new life into classic folk tunes. Overall, "Trails & Tribulations" is a triumph for Martin Simpson, solidifying his status as one of the greatest folk musicians of our time. This album is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates the beauty and power of authentic, heartfelt music. Follow the trail Simpson has blazed and let this album transport you to a place of wonder and awe.
