Music : Word of Mouth
Rating: 
- Do yourself a favour - get "Word of Mouth"
I was given this album as a gift after seeing Vin perform live on 14 June in Northumbria and to listen to it brings back such strong memories of this unassuming man with the spellbinding voice and a gift for storytelling.
This album is a collection of both Vin's own material and those of other folk singers and the result is a mixture of the sublime and the stirring. "Forty Thieves" will get right inside you and you'll find you can't stop yourself singing along and the dancing melodies of the whistle on Wilfy Manion can't fail to set toes tapping. Contrast this with the haunting notes of "City of Angels" & "Troubles of Erin" - both of which I can't listen too without tears in my eyes and you have an album worth its weight in gold. Every song has a history and a meaning, and while the sound is different to Vin's excellent live act - a backing band as opposed to simply himself and his guitar, the voice is unmistakeable.
A great album from a vastly underrated singer/songwriter, anyone who just writes this off as "folky rubbish" needs to take a good step back and look again - if you get a chance to see the man live go for it. Buy, listen n enjoy ... I dare you!
