Rated 10/10
Are we quite sure this dude wasn't born in Newfoundland? God almighty, he sounds a lot like Dick Nolan, Stan Rogers, or to a lesser degree, Gordon Lightfoot. This is maritime folk at its finest, sung by a British man. Great stuff!
Favourite songs: The Drowned Lovers, Barrack Street, The Little Pot Stove, Canadee-I-O, Planxty Davis
Least favourite songs: none. Phenomenal album! Thanks for the suggestion OP!
5/5
Rated 4/10
Dull but worthy English folk
Rated 2/10
I find his voice kind of grating, especially that warbling thing he does. The instrumentals are fine if a bit saccharine.
Rated 4/10
An 80s Second British Folk Revival is bound to be a bit off, and there's this feeling I can't shake this whole album where it just feels... goofy? I mean, it just starts to feel like a parody of itself at this point, and decent instrumentation even wears thin after so long. Maybe singing this with some mates in a bar would make it much better, but this just feels off, and I can't do much in my mind to understand why, but I don't think I really care enough to figure it out, either.
