(2021, FFR21036, Friendly Folk Records) Extraordinary times produce extraordinary music. Honest and handcrafted, yet epic and grandiose, Greenrose Faire’s new album “Following the Wind” reaches for the hearts and souls of those longing for some meaningful music with real instruments and catchy melodies. The fifth studio album of the Finnish sextet ranges from rousing and uplifting folk rock stompers to wistful power ballads, led by the beautiful vocals of Salla Rimmi. The 11 original songs expand the band’s unique folk rock sound, crossing without restraint into Nordic folk and sea shanty territories, flirting with Celtic folk, and unapologetically borrowing from bluegrass and classic heavy rock alike.
