From the humble town of Crawfordjohn comes a humble alternative folk band by the name of All The Franklins, who were brought to my attention via their self-titled album, and what we get here is a smashing little record.

Where Were You kicks off the proceedings very nicely with a catchy, swaying melody, and that’s only the first of many tracks which stand out on this album. Canabal Carnival features addictive guitar work and an enjoyable beat; Brothers Life is a hip tune that is very difficult to resist tapping your foot along to, and throughout they are a collection of songs with very memorable lyrics including Happy Place, Beauty Of The Breakthrough and The Show.

With the fantastic Dreams to close us out, this is a great record that any fan of the folk genre will be most certainly entertained by.
