Seth Lakeman - Granite Way (Uk) [CD]

The album a collection of songs that were recorded within a week alongside a group of longtime collaborators of Seth's, staying true to his roots and referring to ancient stories that inspired early. Seth's expert grasp of using folk music to convey a multitude of emotions in mere minutes cannot be overstated as he once again explores West Country folklore. 'I made a point at the beginning of this writing period to stick with a narrative as best I can', he explains. 'Each song feels strongly connected through history to the moors and the sea. I had written the stories and songs beforehand and had the melodic tunes ready for us all to explore when we recorded in the room, and the musical interplay between this lineup really displays their appetite for sounds and subjects within the folk tradition'.
