This review is from: The Best of Sean Tyrrell: Man for Galway (Audio CD)

Galway native Sean Tyrrell has one of those lovely, low, evocative voices, much like Christy Moore or Stan Rogers, that brings an instant weight and heft to any song he plies himself towards. On traditional and traditional sounding material, he's marvellous, a lulling, authoritative presence, and even the milkier contemporary stuff sounds okay under his command. This is a first-rate collection that gathers fourteen of the best performances Tyrrell's made since he began recording solo work in 1996. Some of the songs are familiar from other singers, other tracks are new; they all sound nice. If you enjoy Celtic music's vocal tradition, this is a fine album -- very listenable and with a strong song selection. Celtic music veteran Davy Spillane plays tin whistle and uilleann pipes on a couples of tunes; otherwise Tyrrell brings his own crew with him, talented newcomers who match his rich, resonant style. Recommended!

Irish folk music with a haunting Galway sound and beautiful instruments bringing poetry to song. He admits he is a dreamer and a romantic and this shines in his selections and interpretations.
