专辑介绍

清浅的溪水，迷濛的海岸，低垂的白云翻涌的蓝天，野花怒放的原野上错落点缀着牧人小屋和安静悠闲的牛羊……

爱尔兰精灵Cara Dillon溢满着田园芬芳和清草香味的低吟浅唱总是能让人的思绪飘向那遥远的异域的国度，仿佛行走在坚实的爱尔兰大地上，看到那里如画的景致、淳朴善良的人，听到他们用歌声用风笛诉说着生命的悲欢离合。

这张《The Hill Of Thieves》是Cara Dillon最新发行的第四张专辑，依然是清澈似水的声音，依然是温暖的传统民谣风格，依然是那个热爱音乐、人淡如菊的爱尔兰女子。相比前三张专辑，这张专辑Cara Dillon歌声中独特的令人难以抗拒的忧郁气息似乎有所淡化，流露出的是雨过天晴的清新和淡雅。

Hill of Thieves is the fourth solo album by Irish folk singer Cara Dillon. It is her first full-length release on Charcoal Records, her own record label, formed in 2008. The album was recorded in 2008 and first became available in October 2008 at her live concerts. It is also the first release since she gave birth to twin boys Noah and Colm at 26 weeks, after going into labour onstage at the Swindon Arts Centre, UK. It has been the most successful of her first four albums in relation to chart performance, entering at No. 7 in the UK Indie Album Charts.

The album marks a return to a purer traditional production and arrangement style, with a significant absence of drums, electric guitar and bass, backing vocals & harmonies, and notably only one original composition. It features a range of guest musicians from the folk music scene, including Seth Lakeman and brother Sean, Brian Finnegan of Flook, Zoe Conway, Eamon Murray of Beoga, and John Smith. The album also features Dillon's core live band, comprising Sam Lakeman, Ed Boyd, and James O'Grady.

Many of the tracks released on this album had already become part of Dillon's live setlist between 2006 and 2008. "She Moved Through The Fair" first was performed on Dillon's After The Morning Tour (2006), and following the change in the live band line-up in 2007, "P Stands For Paddy" became another constant of the live sets. As well as this, "Spencer The Rover" and "False, False" were familiar songs from Dillon's 2001/2002 live set, which included Seth Lakeman on tenor guitar, violin, and backing vocals. Dillon first performed the title track, "The Hill of Thieves" in Brian Finnegan's The Singing Tree at the Old Fruitmarket, Glasgow, as part of Celtic Connections 2008. The song has since been voted as one of the Top Ten original songs to have come out of Northern Ireland by listeners of BBC Radio Ulster in the Great Northern Songbook and was performed by the Ulster Orchestra in the Ulster Hall in August 2012.
