Hedonism isn't my "favourite" CD of the moment but so what. This is largely because I prefer to see the band live, having done so since their debut in 2004. Besides, it would be a very strange and boring world if everyone liked exactly the same things. The point is that Bellowhead is a mighty phenomenen, reaching into a variety of genres and not seeking to be "pure f*lk" (whatever that is). Each band member is ub demand in a bewildering range of other ensembles, so much so that each has to have a dep when gigs clash (with the obvious exception of frontman Jon Boden). Bellowhead is a brave venture which has proved a resounding success. No wonder Mudcat doesn't like it!
