Album Of The Week

"'Folk Roots Revisited' sees John Cee Stannard return to his roots as a folk singer, this collection of original songs, some going back over 40 years, reflects the music he was listening to around the time of Vertigo releasing the debut album from Tudor Lodge, the folk group John founded back in 1968."

"Sadly, we the listener know how the story plays out, but there is joy in the telling, and a poignancy in the listening. There is a certain sadness discovering that such a charming, lively album is John Cee Stannard's final revisit to his formative folk roots, but it's a great listen, alive with charm and warmth, and an example to us all."

"John Cee Stannard’s 'Folk Roots Revisited' is a wonderful flashback to the land of British singer songwriter, circa 1970. But, oddly enough, it also nests nicely with the current, Bon Iver inspired, love of authentic heartfelt acoustic music. It’s just like the great Richard Thompson wrote so long ago, 'If you really mean it, it all comes round again'."

- Bill Golembeski / Folking -

“On March 18th, 2020, the British singer songwriter of great folk and blues songs, John Cee Stannard, peacefully died at home. One year ago he was diagnosed with liver cancer and instead of moaning, he decided to intensively write as many as possible new songs that are now to be heard on his very last record ‘When The Time Is Right'. Moreover, on a 2nd album ‘Folk Roots Revisited’ that is released at the same time, he is taking us through his long career of more than 50 years with a selection of his 12 best songs. R.I.P., John, and thanks a lot for your magnificent heritage!“
