Description
A new album from celebrated Irish band Patrick Street and perhaps their most profoundly traditional. Now in their third decade, Patrick Street are considered â€œthe Irish supergroupâ€?. â€œThis decadeâ€™s answer to The Bothy Band and Planxtyâ€¦â€? The Irish Times
The new CD indicates the opening of an exciting new chapter for the group, as well as a change in one of its longest-running line-ups. Renowned accordion player Jackie Daly has decided to step down from the Street, and leaves us with some dynamic playing on the album. Meanwhile, respected multi-instrumentalist and newest member John Carty makes his Patrick Street recording debut teaming up here with Kevin Burke for some thrilling fiddle duets, his compelling canon of material drawing across time and borders. The quality of Andy Irvineâ€™s singing, virtuoso playing on bouzouki and mandolin, and unique arrangements combine for some his best performances in years. The album also features Ged Foleyâ€™s skills in arranging and producing as well as his typically excellent guitar work and a striking new interpretation of the well-known Irish song â€œThe Galway Shawlâ€?. Jackie Daly offers his farewell to the group with two tracks, both prominently featuring his distinctive accordion style.
