The more troubled the times, the more folk music becomes a necessity. This is holds especially true in 2018. And that’s thanks to groups like Stick In The Wheel, who have been a sensation in the genre since 2015 with their powerful first album From Here. Follow Them True confirms their sense of urgency. In their words, in their stripped-down instrumental approach, which is never monolithic, and in their interpretations (Nicola Kearey’s voice is striking), these Londoners awaken the sleeping woods and set the mossiest stones dancing. Whether Stick In The Wheel are revisiting a traditional air or bringing out an original composition, their power is the same, and their determination is unflagging. Folk music has rarely seemed so… modern.
