This third album, (the follow up to 2006’s critically acclaimed, gold selling ‘Freedom Fields’), perfectly captures the raw, rhythmic energy of Seth's live shows. Produced in large part by Seth’s brother and fellow band member, Sean Lakeman, ‘Poor Man’s Heaven’ represents a progression for Seth’s sound – while remaining firmly rooted in folk, it moves from a more acoustic-based feel to a fuller, rockier sound, underpinned as ever by emotive lyrics and story telling, this time with a strong coastal theme.
On ‘Poor Man’s Heaven’ he continues inexorably to take his own brand of ‘indie-folk’ to a whole new generation. Seth also continues to develop the lyrical themes from the traditional West Country inspired story telling of his previous work.
