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. |
