Amazon.com lists Mumford ans Sons new album "Sigh No More" as "Bluegrass/Folk." Sounds kind of lame, right? Wrong! Mumford and Sons is one of my favorite bands after one or two listens of their hit single "Little Lion Man (see vid above)."
Their are 3 traits that bands have to have for me to really enjoy their music. 1. They need to have a unique sound. This includes the lead voice of the band. There are zillions of bands out their many of them sound the same. 2. The music needs depth and substance. "Sigh No More" has just that. You can hear the pain and sorrow as well as the 'triumphance' and joy not only in the lyrics but in the music itself. 3. The band as a whole has to be unified, relevant, and (duh) sound good. The British Quortet known as Mumford and Sons is truly quality music. Tremendous.
