The 25 Best Spring Albums of All Time

“Spring was moving in the air above and in the earth below and around him… Something up above was calling him imperiously… Hither and thither through the meadows he rambled busily, along the hedgerows, across the copses, finding everywhere birds

Tomáš Šenkyřík ~ Jaro (Spring)

A short while back, we reviewed Kate Carr’s false dawn, a celebration of the dawn chorus recreated through children’s toys and percussive instruments.  We expressed concern that one day we may only be able to recall the dawn chorus through tapes
