0ur Review: :For over a decade, Solas has been hailed as the leading lrish-American supergroup. Through line-up changes and experiments with style and technology, the band has pushed the boundaries of but never strayed too far from their lrish roots. Now, as Máiréad Phelan, an exciting young singer from Kilkenny, steps up to lend her exquisite vocals to the existing line up of Seamus Egan (flute, tenor banjo, mandolin, whistle, guitar, and bodhran), Winifred Horan (fiddle), Mick McAuley ...

No Direction Home: The Soundtrack (The Bootleg Series Vol. 7)
»rank: 4360

Lyrically diverse, Prine offers topical songs such as 'Sam Stone,' the tale of a drug addicted Vietnam vet, achingly sad ...
