Bonny Light Horseman - Bonny Light Horseman

Celebrated as a quiet modern folk standout, Bonny Light Horseman sees the trio of Anaïs Mitchell, Eric D. Johnson and Josh Kaufman breathe new life into traditional ballads. The result is rich and surprising — “they splice together bits of old numbers into new ones, drop or add verses, and relocate antediluvian sagas into Stateside settings.” With an elegant blend of acoustic guitar, piano and subtle studio finesse, the album is “a lush and loving ode to the past with one eye fixed on the present” according to the band’s own account.
