5.0 out of 5 stars
It raises the chin and I applaud it whole-heartedly!,
By a.wolf "aw" (MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alehouse Insurrections (Audio CD)
I have been truly enjoying Alehouse Insurrections!! Mind you that my knowledge of Celtic music is slim: Van Morrison being 1/5 of my collection (20-30 CDs) with Chieftains, Clannad, a thing called Mad Buckgoat by Baltimore Consort (very good) and remembrances of Pentangle from the 70's.
At first listen (1st 2 songs) I wondered where it was going...then this "modern edge" to tradition-this new interpretation of the "Irish light" transcended into flute bubbling with mirth! I found the music passionate, full and elating. By the 3rd cut-instruments of sound create beauty and expansiveness in the "right measure". Tommy voice is certainly meant for oratory performance. Later, during the 1st listen, sounds of Jethro Tull came to mind-still fierce and complex-I find the music more simple and kind (compliment!), more fresh, pure and honest. Anyway, I'll try to wrap it up shortly by saying- the Irish Gypsy" in his soul comes through the music both as raw and sublime-innocence and experience. The CD is as unguessed as it is refreshing. It raises the chin and I applaud it whole-heartedly! |
