Our Take

In the ever-evolving landscape of folk music, John Doyle has emerged as a true troubadour for the modern age. With his latest album, "Wayward Son," Doyle proves once again why he is a force to be reckoned with in the genre.

From the moment the opening track kicks in, Doyle's distinct blend of traditional Irish influences and contemporary storytelling captivate the listener. His intricate guitar work weaves a rich tapestry of sound that is both hauntingly beautiful and undeniably catchy.

The standout track, "The Ballad of Old Joe," is a masterclass in songwriting, with Doyle's clever lyrics painting a vivid picture of a bygone era. His soulful vocals bring a raw emotional depth to each and every track, making it impossible not to be swept away by his storytelling prowess.

But it's not all seriousness with Doyle. Tracks like "Drunken Sailor" and "Whiskey in the Jar" showcase his playful side, with toe-tapping rhythms and infectious melodies that will have you reaching for your dancing shoes.

Overall, "Wayward Son" is a triumph for John Doyle, showcasing his exceptional talent as a musician and songwriter.
