Review by kenethlevine
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Prog-Folk Team

Tony Wakeford's long running and prolific project has never ventured too far or too long from their acoustic based persona, but on "The Devil's Steed" they are absolutely strumbolic and it largely suits them; even the main man's voice sounds more comfortable in this setting though as always his arrangements are what elevate even the more mediocre numbers here. These are chiefly in the forlorn and eerie brass accompaniments throughout.

Still, for the first half of the album I am more than settling when it comes to trad styled numbers like "We Are the Dead Men"; reminiscent of the Irish standard "We Have No Heads"; the evocative "Old London Weeps"; the astounding "The North Ship", like a supernaturally downbeat "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"; the perennially reprisable "Twa Corbies" ; and the haunting "Semaphore Seasons".

If this horse isn't worth selling your soul for or even betting the farm on, it's surely deserving of a gallop or two at your leisure.
