Cry Of A Dreamer

U.S. debut album by Irish troubadour Sean Tyrrell sounds like a long-lost gem from the vaults of an Irish folk catalog. In fact, it’s a brand-new album by a current artist who happens to be profoundly steeped in Celtic tradition and untempered by modern musical influences. The release – which was named Irish album of the year by Folk Roots – includes such lovely tunes as "Coast Of Malabar", a traditional lyric with music by Tyrrell; a trilogy of ancient poems that Tyrrell also set to music; and such varied fare as "Isle Of Innisfree", "Mattie", and the title track. Featuring Davy Spillane on Uilleann pipes and low whistle and Mairtin O’Connor on accordion, among others, "Cry Of A Dreamer" is a feast of traditional Irish music. The genuine article.
