Our Take

Review:

Fairport Convention's "What We Did On Our Holiday" takes listeners on a whimsical journey through a musical landscape that's as unpredictable as a British summer. With their signature folk-rock sound tinged with a psychedelic twist, Fairport Convention delivers an album that's equal parts whimsy and wizardry.

From the hauntingly beautiful vocals of Sandy Denny to the intricate instrumentals that weave seamlessly throughout each track, "What We Did On Our Holiday" is a sonic masterpiece that captures the essence of 1960s counterculture in all its kaleidoscopic glory.

Tracks like "Fotheringay" and "Meet on the Ledge" showcase the band's impeccable musicianship and ability to craft songs that are both ethereal and earthy. While other songs like "Mr. Lacey" and "Tale in Hard Time" showcase the band's ability to tell intriguing stories through their music.

Overall, "What We Did On Our Holiday" is a timeless album that transcends genres and transports listeners to a world where the only currency is creativity. So grab a cup of English Breakfast tea, sit back, and let Fairport Convention take you on a musical holiday you won't soon forget. Cheers!
