Rolfs Nachtdienst CD Tipps

Moin
ich hatte mal wieder etwas Zeit nachts rumzusurfen und nach Neuerscheinungen Ausschau zu halten. Rausgekommen sind ein paar leckere CDs, nicht unbedingt Folkmainstream a la Lunasa, sondern mehr die "Geheimtipps".
Als erstes:
Claire Mann und Aaron Jones.
Reinhören kann man hier:

und zwar in jeden Track 2 Minuten. Ich bin noch nicht durch, aber die CD steht ganz oben auf der Liste.
Deren Website ist hier:

Zitat:
"The stunning debut release from Claire and Aaron is a culmination of several years of touring as a duo and as well as established guests such as bassist Kevin McGuire (The Felsons, Karine Polwart Band) driving bódhran player Martin O'Neill (Dóchas, Flook, Michael McGoldrick Band) and accordionist Leo McCann (Malinky) the CD includes guest appearances by friends and family creating a warm and relaxed feel. The album truly reflects and captures the energy and passion that Claire and Aaron have developed during years of touring together. From the energy of their jigs and reels through jaunting waltzes, beautifully interpreted songs to haunting laments, the CD takes you on a journey through their development as a duo."
Sehr relaxte CD! Aber wunderbare Flöte und überhaupt...Super Bodhran Sound, das ist sehr amtlich, was der Martin O'Neill da macht.

Nochmal Bouzouki plus Melodie:
Randal Bays and Roger Landes
House to House

"Randal Bays and Roger Landes are two Americans who play extraordinary Irish traditional music. They're a classic fiddle and bouzouki duo who play with a straightforward passion that is hard to find in any genre. Their repertoire also includes solos and duets featuring Randal's fingerstyle guitar or Roger's mandolin wizardry."
Ja, leckerer Geiger und gute Begleitung, was will man mehr....

Bays and Landes are two master musicians who have recorded and toured with many of the great Irish musicians of our time - Tommy Peoples, Martin Hayes, Frankie Gavin, Daithi Sproule, and many more. Their new CD, "House to House" is an exciting, all LIVE recording of a series of house concerts around the U.S., crackling with energy and good humor., available on Foxglove Records

Die haben die CD bei Houseconcerts live aufgenommen, und das hört man...im positiven Sinne, Sound ist gut...:-). Ein paar Mandolinen Sets sind auch dabei !

Dann hat mit Fiddlers Bid eine meiner Lieblingsschottischbands eine neue CD auf den Markt geworfen:

Nuala Kennedy ist ja von Fine Friday schon ein Begriff (Danke, Jens!!)
Fine Friday nicht bekannt ?
http://tinyurl.com/bcyjp
"Fine Friday is a new collaboration between three young veterans of Edinburgh's session scene: Kris Drever (guitar/vocals), Nuala Kennedy (flute/whistles) and Anna-Wendy Stevenson (fiddle). Their debut album, comprising five songs and eight instrumental tracks, is as easy and cheery as their name suggests -- and the absence of any guest players means the focus is squarely on the trio's vibrant empathy. On the song front Drever displays a maturity well beyond his years in covers both of traditional standards (Cold Blow And The Rainy Night, The Selkie, Funeray) and contemporary compositions (Boo Hewerdine's Hummingbird, Steve Tilston's Slip Jigs And Reels). His warm, urgently soulful voice and strikingly individual phrasing make even familiar material emphatically his own. The tunes -- a mix of Scottish, Irish, Scandinavian and original material -- keep the pace nice and mellow, while Kennedy and Stevenson's melodic interplay supplies a sweet balance of grace and vitality, fruitfully backed up by Drever's distinctively shaded guitar work."
