专辑介绍

by Chris Nickson

Having established herself as a marvelous traditional Irish singer, Karan Casey's decided to spread her wings and head into contemporary folk-pop. It's a good decision, as she proves to be just as adept and intimate a performer on modern material as the old songs. She's also an astute judge of songwriters, whether it's Billy Bragg's title track, a meditation on emigration, Tim O'Brien's &Another Day,& or Ger Wolfe's excellent &The Curra Road.& She keeps the feel loose throughout, almost like a session, but keeps herself front and center, never letting things stray too much out of focus. Her own singing is as understated as ever, letting less be a little more, giving a wonderful shine to something like &Distant Shore.& There's also a very political element to her music, as she illustrates on &The Jute Mill Song& and her version of Ewan MacColl's &The Ballad of Tim Evans,& an eloquent argument against the death penalty. Casey has matured, that much is obvious, and she's in the process of becoming a world-class interpreter of songs.
