Mumford & Sons - Sigh No More

Mumford-Sons-Sigh-No-MoreThis is probably the best album that has landed on the shelf in a long time. This was by far, my go to for 2010. If you’re familiar with the Mumford and Sons debut album “Sigh No More” album then you know this album writes its own review “Best New Album- period”.   If your not- I’m here to tell you what you’re missing out on…  Released in October 2009 in Europe and in February 2010 in North America;  this London based indie folk band has captured international attention and is drawing crowds in from every corner to attend their sold out shows. 

Unlike most banjo accompanied bands they’re making their mark with wide spread acceptance, singing songs about love lost and found and being young men taking on life’s adversities. Influenced by one of the greatest folk legends of our time Neil Young from his days of: Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. What is most unique about this folk band is that they are taking on folk with strong rock conviction. Most noted songs on this album are:  “Little Lion Man”, “The Cave”, “Winter Winds”, but to be honest this album is not worth skipping tracks, as you’re just missing out at that point. Their name comes from lead singer; guitar and kick drum “Marcus Mumford” accompanied by Country Winston, Ben Lovett, and Ted Dwane.  Anyone in the music community can appreciate a strong lead like Marcus Mumford. If you haven’t had a chance to see any live performances its worth getting on to Youtube to check out any of the songs listed to see the magic of Mumford and Sons.  My favourite song is actually one of the first songs written by Mumford and Sons when they formed in December 2007 “White Blank Page”.  This is a great song to add to your arsenal of acoustic guitar cover songs for summer bonfire sessions.

I'm putting my mouth were my money has gone... Music!

Bio: International University Graduate Specializing in International Business. Working in media for the last seven years. I've spent every hard earned dollar on guitar lessons, concerts and music festivals around the world. Okay maybe not every dollar, but to put in perspective- I rent over buying, travel with every holiday I am given and spend my leisure with the people that inspire me. I drink with the seasons: micro-brews on patios and warm reds in the winter. I am a bit of brew/wine snob, but have always found comfort in a good dive where options do not exist. I love to cook and I'm most interested in food-fusion.

Agree/Disagree | The power is within you to speak up!

Complacency to me is the route of personal demise. Never take your curiosity for granted and always have the ability to ask questions.
