Every now and then a record comes along which when it has played through just leaves you wanting more more more! This release from Mumford and Sons is just such a disc, I can never listen to it just the once, there always has to be a repeat spin.
And it seems I am not the only one. The jaunty banjo led uptempo modern day and, dare I say it, folky, sound seems to have become almost ubiquitous, heard everytime I turn on the radio or TV, and even in the cinema.
This is a record jam packed with joyous music. Even when singing about themes of loss and darkness, the music seems to almost celebrate life. It's a real feel good toe tapper that deserves every bit of its recent success. My only quibble is that a follow up album from this talented bunch seems somewhat overdue!
