Jim Ghedis new album “Wasteland” may be his most bold, ambitious and fervent expression of this to date – pushing the boundaries of what folk music can be in 2025.
3rd album from Sheffield folk artist blending traditional songs and original compositions. What Ghedi has done on this record is create a remarkable space where deeply intimate and personal feelings coexist with reflections on environment, place and society, while also interweaving historical context via traditional songs. Wastelandis as much of a world to explore and exist in as much as it is an album, with Ghedi carving out his distinctly unique sonic language and voice to explore that singular environment.
