Description:
John Francis Flynn’s debut I Would Not Live Always blends ancient balladry with subtle modern textures. The Guardian awarded it 4 out of 5 stars, calling the album “an unearthly intensity” and naming it folk album of the month.
Flynn’s voice is mournful, deep, and expressive, offering a fresh and haunting take on traditionals like Lovely Joan and Shallow Brown.
This CD captures a rare collision of the old and the new; atmospheric, unflinching, and deeply emotional.
