Guitar, fiddle, accordion and the vocals of Irish-born McKeown and Klezmatics’ lead singer Skalmberg. Folk music ranging from dirges to dances, often with unexpected flourishes. In English, Yiddish, Irish. Every track a gem. 1. Relaxed and sweetly creaky story song. Sad. 2. A tango-infused track w/a rich melodic quality. 3. Celtic percussion, driving w/a toe-tapping dramatic air. 4. Starts slow, picks up. Like an old vaudeville sketch. 5. Slow, traditional anti-war ballad w/a new touch. 6. Toe tapping folk dance with fun vocal duets. 7. Male a cappella like a chant. Mid/slow & haunting. 8. Light Irish folk about a horse fair. Midtempo. 9. Soaring female vocal ode to St. Bridget. Gorgeous. 10. Starts slow, gets into an upbeat round song. Fun. 11. Gentle guitar, sad and lyrical. 12. Mid/upbeat tripping folk dance w/drama. Beautiful. | ||
