The Official Folk Albums Chart for November 2022 is announced today and is once again packed with new entries including six in the top ten .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n


The boundary-pushing Geordie singer-guitarist Richard Dawson lands straight in at No.1 with The Ruby Chord (Weird World), the final part of a trilogy that began with the pre-medieval world of \u2018Peasant\u2019 (2017) and \u20182020\u2019 (2019), with this album bearing Dawson\u2019s uniquely unsettling, off-kilter, esoteric brand of English folk (right).<\/em><\/strong>

At No.3 is Tender (Lady Maisery) from Lady Maisery combinines the talents of three of the most accomplished modern folk artists, Hazel Askew, Hannah James and Rowan Rheingans. Comprising original songs as well as personal interpretations of other works, songs examine femaleness from many sides, while their voices unite in strength, harmony and message.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of folk\u2019s great innovators, Eliza Carthy celebrates thirty years as a professional musician with Queen Of The Whirl (Hem Hem), straight in at No.6. Loved by staunch traditionalists and iconoclasts alike, Eliza\u2019s music effortlessly crosses boundaries of genre and style. The collection includes some of her most loved career-spanning songs as chosen by her fans on Twitter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


New in at No. 7 is Aoife Nessa Francis with Protector (Partisan), of which Pitchfolk says, ‘Inspired by the rugged yet serene beauty of Ireland\u2019s west coast, the singer-songwriter\u2019s tranquil psych-folk explores communion with nature, family, and ourselves<\/em>.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mary Wallopers (BC Recordings) is the first debut recording to enter this month\u2019s chart, arriving in at No. 9.<\/strong> Led by Dundalk-based brothers Charles and Andrew Hendy with Se\u00e1n McKenna, The Mary Wallopers exude raw energy, powerful guitar chords and riotous choruses. The collection of 11 sing-along songs are filled with warmth and intimacy, bringing excitement to traditional ballad singing.

Glamour In The Grey (Collective Perspective) is the first album from folk-rock band The Magpie Arc, featuring Nancy Kerr, Martin Simpson, Findlay Napier, Tom A Wright and  Alex Hunter. In at No.10<\/strong>, the album combines original material with Nancy Kerr adaptations of traditional songs and echoes the classic folk-rock sound of the early 1970s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 
Other new entries include A Tarot Of The Green Wood (Mavis Recordings) by Burd Ellen at No.18, All Are Safely Gathered In (Talking Elephant) at No.25 by The Albion Christmas Band and No More The Green Hills (Wylam) at No.32 by Janice Burns & Jon Doran.<\/strong>

Congratulations to all charting artists.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
