  • Description

    Much anticipated debut album from folk-roots band The Willows, produced with BBC Folk Award winner Stu Hanna (Megson, Show of Hands, Lucy Ward). Fronted by the breathtaking voice of Jade Rhiannon, The Willows deliver a moving collection of songs about people, their lives and their stories. The banjo-driven stomper' Bella's Fury' tells of a remorseless woman who kills her husband; the beautiful stillness of 'This Book of Ours' depicts two childhood sweethearts nearing the end of their time together; while' Worker's War' (written for Jade's father) tells of a loyal man unfairly stripped of his employment. Despite covering so many of the darkest places possible, 'Beneath Our Humble Soil' is by no means a depressing listen; the band have a knack of conveying human spirit through their music, and perhaps most notably, this spirit remains at the heart of this album.
