Makes the Werewolf Howl and the Willow Weep, November 21, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Some Old Lonesome Day (Audio CD)
"Lauren Sheehan has a lusty voice that makes the werewolf howl and the willow weep. Her haunting renditions of 14 American mountain and blues songs on her new CD, Some Old Lonesome Day, will reverberate in your mind. Teamed with harp virtuoso Phil Wiggins (Cephas and Wiggins) and some of the Pacific Northwest's choicest sidemen, Sheehan transforms her list of obscure and familiar material into a series of masterfully paced emotional journeys. Since 1981 Sheehan has honed her chops touring Ireland, Canada, and the US, playing concerts, clubs, and dances, and at Port Townsend, Washington's Festival of American Fiddle Tunes and Country Blues Workshop. A legend around musical campfires in Maine and Oregon, she is known to celebrate daybreak with denizens of the long smoky night. Sink into Some Old Lonesome Day and you have the best seat in the middle of the musicians by the long burning firelight. More info on her web site: laurensheehanmusic.com"
