Our Take

Martin Simpson's latest offering, "Vagrant Stanzas," is a delightful romp through the world of folk music. Simpson's intricate guitar work and soulful vocals transport the listener to a bygone era where troubadours roamed the countryside, spinning tales of love, loss, and redemption.

From the hauntingly beautiful title track to the rousing rendition of the traditional ballad "Banks of Green Willow," Simpson proves once again why he is considered a master of his craft. His ability to infuse each song with both technical prowess and emotional depth is truly a sight to behold.

But what truly sets "Vagrant Stanzas" apart is Simpson's willingness to take risks and defy genre conventions. Tracks like "Beanfield" and "Fool Me Once" showcase his willingness to push the boundaries of traditional folk music, incorporating elements of blues, jazz, and even world music.

Overall, "Vagrant Stanzas" is a triumph for Martin Simpson, a true testament to his skill as a musician and storyteller. Whether you're a longtime fan of folk music or a newcomer to the genre, this album is sure to delight and surprise you in equal measure. So grab your favourite cup of tea, settle in by the fire, and let Martin Simpson whisk you away on a musical journey you won't soon forget.
