FolkWords Reviews

'FolkWords Reviews' - listening to and commenting on all folk music including that huge amount of folk music that exists below the 'mountain top' of success (only scaled by a few leading musicians and bands) to bring it to the attention of a wider audience.

Along with researching the book and developing this site, FolkWords regularly scours through the folk world. I listen to musicians, bands, songwriters and singers - the 'established' doing new, the 'new' doing different and those just doing their own thing. When I find something good I'll let you know.

Want a FolkWords review? If you've got a release on the way or you want an independent review of your latest demo or album then visit the Contact page for my earth-bound address and pop that CD in the post.

Read FolkWords reviews? Visit the Album Reviews section. Here you'll find reviews of albums, singers, songwriters, bands and musicians. If there's any justice many of these could (should) be the artists making waves in the future of folk.

By the way, if you send a CD there's no guarantee you'll get the review you expect or want. If I think the product is good I'll say so - if I don't, I won't. (There's no sycophancy here, and sugar-sweet words are for birthday cards.) On the other hand, I reckon there's enough negativity in the world without adding more, so if I don't have something constructive to say - I won't say anything.

Hopefully, that clears up any doubt that FolkWords only writes good reviews - you just don't get to see the bad ones. The only guarantee I make is this: my reviews are free, honest, unbiased, and all that buying the beer gets you is 'thank you'.
