This album feels like a bunch of hay stacked and tightened in great detail. In one photo, there is a room filled with ethnic instruments (African), synthesizers, assorted guitars and drums. The consoles he uses for recording will make a record junkie drool. There are photos of Declan with co-songwriter Owen O’Brien in the studio. The liner notes are informative and excellent especially in terms of visuals. The album has a nice packaging imitating the cardboard style CD. The sonic quality is amazing, partly through the efforts of Tim Martin and Ian Cooper courtesy of Metropolis Studios. Everything in this album sticks together. They are on the easy folk rock style that’s catchy and groovy. “ I love the noise it makes “( a quote he loved from John Lennon when asked whether in music it is the lyrics or the melody he prefers ) was released on 7 September 2012 in Ireland and on 10 and 11 September in the UK and USA respectively. He currently plays and tours with Christy Moore. He is associated with both sisters Mary and Frances Black. Sun Shine In is the carrier single off this new album by former member of Horslips (before they became official) and Moving Hearts. *** Declan Sinnott: I love the noise it makesĭeclan Sinnott: Lead vocals, guitars and various instruments Such a nice ending for this album that needs repeated listens. It sounds like traditional Irish music gone crazy. Rainy Day At Shady Creek explores the world of Jazz and Bluegrass.
Both vocal and instrumental arrangement set the example of musical excellence. But love the a unifying and constant force. Another tribute to being with someone through thick and thin and also the idea that nothing is constant but change. Fans of Talking Heads can relate to the 80’s New Wave style. The nice sound of the recorder glides throughout like a nightingale. It continues and there is never a morning when you wake up with a sense of wonderment and challenge to continue loving against all odds. I think it is telling us that winning someone’s heart doesn’t stop after marriage. It Could be True is an example of someone continuing to “court” a beloved through the years in the relationship. So why should we fight each other when nature is already fighting us and diminishing our numbers? Must we also contribute to the pain? The song has that Irish marching beat. I reflected on this and also remember all the natural disasters like earthquakes, famine, disease and poverty. Let’s Unite affirms the belief that we can all get through our differences if we realize our similarities. It says that you don’t have to hide anything because you can be who you are with the right person. It has that relaxed atmosphere of being with someone you loved through the years. The Sweetest Thing, track four, delivers the “get into the Irish pub” kind of sentiment. Other titles like Right the Wrongs and A New Beginning are songs that anyone who has gone through tough times can relate to. The vocal layering and melody lean into Clannad and Loreena McKennitt. There are other atmospheric surprises like The Promise which possesses a definitive Celtic sound.
Sweetness, pain, laughter: these are emotions that surround A New Beginning. This optimistic thought is present all over the album’s 10 tracks. But it is the call of artistic desire that always brings us into a sense of purpose. There are certainly events that shake us rendering us incapable of moving. It is the confidence brought about by the test of time, elements and LIFE that we all go through. Their years performing on stage and recording the way they want their albums to sound, ripened and made their music intoxicating like fine wine. In terms of instrumental delivery, I’d say hands down to both of them. There are hints of smooth jazz, pop rock and Celtic. The duo of Trish and Dave long incorporate a broader spectrum of musical styles.
