You may have heard about Mumford and Son's second album, 'Babel' to be launched on Sept 24. The English folk band dropped a teaser for fans by releasing the album's first single, 'I Will Wait'. The song is wondrously reminiscent of the band's past efforts on 'Sigh No More' as we hear their trademark Celtic sounds complemented by heavy banjo riffs and stomping drums. It's ambitious, loud and remarkably cheery. Although 'Sigh No More' received mixed reviews from critics, 'I Will Wait' indicates a more mature direction by the band towards a country bluegrass genre that is both commercial and highly rousing.
