Comments and Reviews

Fokeman 20th Feb 2021		Review One of the all time classic Welsh Folk albums. Probably THE classic Welsh traditional folk album. With harmony vocals, lots of guitar, fiddle and bouzouki / mandolin giving string variety. I can't recommend highly enough this album. It's a mixture of traditional tunes and songs with such an interesting variety of tunes and vocals that no two tracks are similar. My favourite is the last track on Ochr 1 (Side 1) which is called The Little Tinker Lad with a really catchy chorus. The other stand out track (although to be fair they're all wonderful) is the first track on side 2 which is a round quite reminiscent of Pachelbel's Canon in D. The vocals are beautifully performed with a slightly nasal male voice and the chorus singing is vaguely reminiscent of early Steeleye Span although without the rocky input which came later. Unless you hate folk music in general, you can't help fall in love with this album. Every track! 3 people found this review helpful.   ✔︎ Helpful Review?
