Post Description

Oorspronkelijk uit 2018, maar deze remaster maakt het wel een heel stuk beter.


‘Songs From The Seasons’ began life as part of a wider writing and recording project undertaken by Joshua Burnell in 2016 that was inspired by the changing seasons of the weather and ended up with fifty two classic English and European folk songs revisited and re-recorded. Now fourteen of those songs have been collated together for this new release by the English folk-rock musician.

The record treats the listener to a feast of both familiar and lesser-known folk songs and instrumentals that many will recognise. ‘King Of The Fairies’, probably best known to Horslips fans, is punchy and sparkles with acoustic joy here, while Fairport Convention fans will delight upon hearing Burnell’s versions of ‘Tam Lin’  and ‘Reynardine The Werefox’, both updated with fresh energy and zest.
It isn’t all straightforward folk music though. ‘The Snows They Melt The Soonest’ dips into prog-rock territory with its infectious swirling Hammond organ, jazzy bass lines and tight whistle playing it gives a nod in the direction of late 1970s Jethro Tull.
