Review: Steve Knightley – The Winter Yards
Knightley’s album delivers an emotionally charged collection, starting with ‘Transactions,’ a beautifully written tribute to the downtrodden, addressing key issues in the UK, including immigration, identity, and the Post Office Scandal. ‘The Ride (The Winter Yards)’ offers a reflective, lockdown-inspired track, while ‘If You Come Back’ boasts a captivating guitar line, with a groove that oozes swagger. ‘I Tried’ brings a touch of melancholy, adding emotional depth to an already diverse album. ‘Requiem’ impresses with acapella harmonies, infusing the traditional ‘The Parting Glass’ with haunting beauty. ‘I’ll Never Forgive You’ echoes Nick Cave’s influence, while ‘The Mermaid (The Wedding Song)’ showcases Knightley’s lyrical wit. Closing with the moving ‘A Song for Wickham,’ this album is a well-rounded, poignant masterpiece.
