RadioIndy Reviews: Irish Coffee by Cady Finlayson,
This review is from: Irish Coffee (Audio CD)
"Irish Coffee" the instrumental disc from the highly talented violinist Cady Finlayson is a stand out album filled with an abundance of Celtic feel. Known for performing traditional Irish music, Finlayson adds a touch of Americana to her latest effort and the result is a wonderful collection of brisk and lively melodies. The song "A Midwinter Waltz" makes you feel as if you are strolling along the breath taking hills of Ireland on a snowy day. Adding the American folk element "Brooklyn March" highlights Finlayson's energetic violin work and melds together Americana with an Irish flare. This album "Irish Coffee" is powered by energetic and enthusiastic violin instrumentals with Celtic flare and a colorful touch of folk.

Traditional Irish Fiddling with new tunes blending in with the old,
By
This review is from: Irish Coffee (Audio CD)
Fiddler Finlayson is not from Ireland; she's from Brooklyn. But she certainly has the Irish spirit inside her based on this CD.
The whopping 19 tracks (many are medleys) combine traditional Irish dance tunes (jigs, reels, straphspeys) with some new melodies that she composed for her and her band (the standard accordion, bodhron guitar and percussion section - with a harp thrown in on a few tracks). There's a bit of varied instrumentation when there is some rain added on one track and a harp shows up on a couple of others. The fiddler composed five of the songs and gives them contemporary names - "Jury Duty Waltz" was written while she was waiting to be called during that inevitable jury duty - but the music is no different that if it was composed in the Emerald Isle. But there's nothing wrong with that. She's a more than capable player and I did have the chance to see her play live - which I would recommend. This is not "Riverdance" music that is fast and furious. Finlayson plays the softer and more formal Irish dance music. Steve Ramm "Anything Phonographic"
