Burlesque (Bellowhead album)

Burlesque is the fourth studio album by the English folk band Bellowhead. It was released on 24 October 2011. The album continues Bellowhead's tradition of interpreting traditional English folk songs with a distinctive, energetic, and brass-heavy sound.

The album features a mix of uptempo dance tunes and darker, more narrative-driven songs. As with their previous albums, Burlesque showcases the band's instrumental virtuosity and Jon Boden's powerful vocals. Notable tracks on the album include "Rigs of the Time", a version of the traditional sea shanty, and "Roll Her Down the River".

Burlesque received generally positive reviews upon release, with critics praising its arrangements and performances. It was nominated for Best Album at the 2012 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. The album reflects Bellowhead's continuing influence in the revival of English folk music.
