Music reviews of Spoils

Music Review: well, there's also...
Rating: 5 Stars

Surely the most obvious influence on this recording is Robin Williamson, from both his Incredible String Band days and his later solo career. Just listen to the phrasing, for example, in "So Bored Was I." Not to mention the overall instrumental, melodic, and lyrical approach, forged like Williamson's in the Scots folk tradition and taken in unusual, albeit organic-sounding, directions.

Alasdair Roberts is someone whose music I'm just discovering, with undiluted delight. I also highly recommend his all-traditional "No Earthly Man."

Description of Spoils

2009 release from the Scottish singer/songwriter. Returning from his voyages of discovery around the world, Alasdair Roberts has brought a sack of assorted goods for you merchants, eight epic new songs Spoils, geddit? A s the years pass, our Alasdair just keeps getting older. Not the way you and I do, more like accelerated growth, centuries passing. When the lad starts scoring his tunes for archaic instruments such as psaltery, viol and 19th century guitar, it's serving notice that he's going way back. In a sense, this makes Spoils his earliest album.
