Details:
BURLESQUE is Bellowhead's much anticipated full length album. The album includes 13 songs and tunes inspired by a dazzling array of material from the Napoleonic Wars ("Rigs Of The Time") the American minstrel movement ("Jordan") sea-shanties from Brazil ("Across The Line") and the spirit of the East Anglian step dance tradition "Sloe Gin". The lead singer Jon Boden struts and emotes much like a grandson of Mick Jagger and the ensemble playing of all of the musicians is superb. It is not simply the technical ability of the individual players that impressess but also the sheer musicality of the arrangements. by 2006 the band had long since transcended the idea of simply being a folk band with some brass players. They have honed a unique style which sets them apart. Deeply rooted in the English folk dance tradition they also merge a joyous uplifting cacophony of sound with a slightly sinister distorted collision of music hall
