Jon Boden - Afterglow

thorstenbarre

Review by Thorsten Barré

Afterglow is the fourth solo album by Jon Boden, a British folk musician and former lead singer of Bellowhead. The album, released in 2017, consists of 11 tracks and showcases Boden's diverse musical talents, from his signature fiddle playing to his emotive vocals.

The album opens with "Moths in the Gaslight," a haunting ballad that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The title track, "Afterglow," is a lively number with a catchy chorus and a driving beat, while "All the Stars Are Coming Out Tonight" is a more contemplative tune that showcases Boden's ability to convey complex emotions through his music.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Dancing in the Ruins," a rousing, foot-stomping song that features Boden's fiddle playing at its best. "Wrong Side of Town" is another highlight, with its catchy melody and clever lyrics about taking a wrong turn in life.

Throughout the album, Boden's vocals are powerful and emotive, conveying a range of emotions from joy to sadness. His lyrics are poetic and often introspective, exploring themes of love, loss, and the passage of time.
