New Release: The Tale of Scalliwag Joe, by Greenrose Faire

Posted on by Friendly Folk Records

Ahoy Matey… ‘The Tale of Scalliwag Joe’, by Greenrose Faire will have you singing along and talking like a pirate in no time at all. There are Pirates, and then there are PIRATES! Scalliwag Joe is a force to be reckoned with! The track is from the upcoming fifth studio album, ‘Following the Wind’, to be released June/2021 on Friendly Folk Records.

Greenrose Faire plays rousing Celtic folk rock with head-bobbing, toe-tapping rock feel. The Finnish sextet meshes mandolins and violin with rock drums and bass and symphonic synths, and spikes the rollicking attitude with the slightly ominous overtones of Finnish melancholy. Greenrose Faire sounds lively and modern but still tugs at the nostalgia strings for the long-gone days of yore.
