Album 965
Mountain Ash Band - The Hermit
Year: 1975
Less of a concept album and more of a story told through narration and song. This incredibly charming and incredibly British album always brings a smile to my face before making me very sad. The actual emotion you feel for the character Job Senior is incredibly strong. You'll love this if you love folk albums with a twist. Great melodies, fiddle and guitar makes this album a must have. I have reviewed it and I gave it a strong 8/10, but on re-examination it feels like it deserves more. This album can be incredibly powerful at times, and all the songs have been superbly crafted. This is one to listen to when you have the time to hang on every word, and then the time to play it again.
