    The familiarity of the material is offset by the uniqueness of the approach. [Aug 2017, p.104]

    These nine tracks find the foursome reworking a suite of folk and roots songs with their trademark chilly decorum, joined by a brace of Nonesuch labelmates. [Jul 2017, p.32]

    Folk Songs is a smart and emotionally effective exploration of the folk tradition that respects musical history without being chained to it, and it's an experiment the Kronos Quartet would do well to repeat in the future.
