Of Maids and Mariners by Said The Maiden is a perfectly crafted album that showcases the trio's impressive vocal harmonies and instrumental prowess. The album is a collection of traditional folk songs that have been arranged and delivered in a contemporary style. The songs are beautifully arranged with a mix of acoustic guitars, fiddles, and mandolins, which create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The album starts with the hauntingly beautiful "The Trees They Do Grow High," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The vocal harmonies are stunning, and the instrumentation is perfectly balanced. The album also features some upbeat tracks like "The Greenland Whale Fisheries" and "The Grey Selkie," which are sure to get your toes tapping.

The standout track on the album is "The Soldier and the Maid." The song is a perfect example of Said The Maiden's ability to take a traditional folk song and make it their own. The vocal harmonies on this track are simply breathtaking, and the instrumentation is perfectly arranged to support the vocals.
