The Bombadils have released their third album, Grassy Roads Wandering Feet, and it is a delightful collection of songs that showcase their musical prowess and storytelling abilities. The album features 11 tracks that blend folk, bluegrass, and Celtic influences to create a unique sound that is both refreshing and familiar.
The opening track, "Binoculars," sets the tone for the album with its catchy melody and clever lyrics. The harmonies between Luke Fraser and Sarah Frank are a standout feature of the album, and they are particularly impressive on tracks like "The Fountain" and "River Run."
The instrumental arrangements are also noteworthy, with each member of the band contributing their skills on a variety of instruments. From the banjo on "Rainy Nights" to the fiddle on "Long Time Traveller," the Bombadils demonstrate their versatility and range.
The album's title track, "Grassy Roads Wandering Feet," is a standout song that captures the spirit of the album. It's a joyful ode to the joys of wandering and exploring, and it's impossible not to tap your feet and sing along.
