Seth Lakeman - By: Mr. Anthony J. Mabbley, 18 Jul 2010 
Having never heard of Seth Lakeman or his music until recently I was very impressed with one of his albums Poor Man's Heaven. I was so impressed with his music that I have ordered &in fact have just received his latest album which I am looking forward to listening too. I can & will recommend that you try & listen to his music & like me be converted.
great - By: ruth baskerville, 04 May 2010 
First time I have bought a Seth lakeman CD really liked it & have played it over & over
A Gr8 album but a bit samey - By: Pagan Ronnie, 20 Oct 2009 Full of energy, buckets of atmosphere, pleanty of foot tappers - allin all another great album. I have just one suggestion to Seth tho, (rather than a criticism) & that's: the folk tales of the Westcountry have made great material for your past four (including this one) solo albums but it's getting a bit predictable & dare I say a tad tedious? Don't get me wrong, I do love your music & have all you've made so far - It's just that it'd be nice to hear some stories & social comment about issues from more recent times. There's plenty to sing about these days other than old folk tales that have already been told a million times before. But hey, we love yu Seth!
could do better - By: F. L. Price, 14 Oct 2009 Hmmm...given it four but Imin a positive frame of mind.
This is more upbeat that previous albums - no bad thing. But Lakeman takes catchy tunes & does nt really do much with them...after thinking yes, great stuff & playing album a few times the lack of musical & lyrical depth starts to bore. Lakeman could do better. He & his band are gifted musicians but I just get the impression they are a bit lazyin this regard.
Nonetheless I expect they offer a foot-stomping live concert & despite my resevations I would definitely suggest this as a good buy.
Modern Folk - By: Danger Mouse, 17 Jul 2009 I first heard Seth Lakeman on a BBC3 documentary & found his style more modern than traditional "Folk" which appealed to me & thought the tale of Solomon Browne superb. This album has definitely made me a fan of Seth, I like his style of transferring modern events into folk music. I don't see how some reviews say all the tracks sound the same I think it has a good mix of tracks. Overall a great album.
