Mumford and Sons

I know that Mumford and Sons is somewhat past news, and everyone has already heard their music, but they are just so good. Their sounds and harmonies give me chills, and that banjo...oh I love that banjo. Not to mention their writing is phenomenal. It's not often that I love the lyrics to a song as much or more than the music itself, but like I said, these guys are good, and their way with words is beautiful. There is so much passion and emotion in the music, and when they play the music carries you into the soul of the song. Their music really makes you feel, and when you're listening you can feel their own enthusiasm and love for their craft. I mean you can really tell that these guys are simply doing what they love and having a good time doing it.  Needless to say, I think they're an alright group of musicians.


Now everybody knows their songs "The Cave" and "Little Lion Man", but I think that some of their best talent is hidden in the lesser known songs (although you can't go wrong with any of them). So I threw in my own two favorites just to broaden your musical horizons a little. This is another group who knows how to combine genres, and while they definitely have a folk feel going on throughout the album, they aren't afraid to rock out hard with it either. I realize that most everyone is already pretty familiar with the band, so I apologize if none of what I've written is new news for you. But if it is a new treat for your little ears, or even if it's not, I hope these songs add a little something to your day.
