Description
One of Ireland’s most famous musicians, Sharon Shannon began her career in 1991 as a guest musician with The Waterboys. She has subsequently toured the world and collaborated with the likes of Steve Earle, The Waterboys, Jackson Browne and Kirsty MacColl. Also featured on the album: Steve Earle, Jackson Browne, Carlos Nunez, John Prine, Donal Lunny, The Hot House Flowers.
A departure for Sharon Shannon in that it features tracks from her favourite vocalists and musicians and is less traditional. This album is her most successful to date and went triple platinum in Ireland alone.
