Thoughts

You have to love S&G, they’re so iconic. The thing about folk music is that if it’s not done well, it can be so drawn out, noodly and boring. But this album is basically perfect - every song is a good one, even the instrumental one in the middle. The album is bookended by the stand out singles, and leaving me on I Am a Rock meant it was definitely stuck in my head for a while.

Rating: 5 / 5
