Our Take
Our Take
James Yorkston's latest offering, "When The Haar Rolls In," is a delightful mix of folk rhythms and introspective lyrics that transport listeners to the misty shores of his native Scotland. The album opens with the haunting title track, setting the tone for a journey through love, loss, and the passage of time.
Yorkston's storytelling prowess shines through on tracks like "Strangest Thing," where he weaves vivid imagery with his distinct folk melodies. His voice, weathered and full of emotion, draws listeners in and keeps them captivated throughout the album.
The instrumentation on "When The Haar Rolls In" is equally impressive, with layers of acoustic guitars, strings, and subtle percussion creating a lush backdrop for Yorkston's tales. Standout tracks like "Tender To The Blade" showcase the band's tight musicianship and ability to build tension and release it with expert precision.
Overall, "When The Haar Rolls In" is a masterful display of Yorkston's songwriting talents and a testament to his place in the folk music pantheon. Fans of artists like Nick Drake and Bert Jansch will find much to love in this album, while newcomers will be entranced by its beauty and depth. Don't let this one roll by unnoticed - it's a gem worth cherishing.
