Free Music Review: Runnin' With the Best of the Irish Players
Hit: 5 Stars
If you had one name to run in a poll to name the single person who had the greatest influence over the development of modern Irish music. That name would be D?nal Lunny from Co. Kildare. His plethora of occupations include guitar, bouzouki & bodhr?n player, composer, arranger, band leader, producer and musical director. What set him apart is the innovation and experimentation during the 1960's with different blend and technique of guitar chords.
In those early 60's his career took off followed after a short spell with the band Emmet Spiceland. He then met up with Christy Moore. There it all began to blossom into the most influential music and one of the best Irish composers today. Each of his creative and original bands, Planxty, the Bothy Band, Moving Hearts, and just recently Coolfin. The electic talent has been so successful that it redefines the current state of the Irish arts. His music links to idioms as Breton, West African, Mediterranean Europe and contemporary rock to hip hop. All of these are reflected in his composition and styling of his work. His production work is very diverse as he has the likes of Altan, Elvis Costello, country artist Emmylou Harris and Mark Knopler.
This album highlights more than 25 years of his performing career. Also presents performances with Christy Moore, Sharon Shannon, Brian Kennedy, Ireland's fiddle master Natalie MacMaster and Andy Irvine. This also features the unreleased version of 'Millenium Suite' by Coolfin. Even includes the 9 minute epic 'Tribute to Peadar O'Donnell.' With everything like this that lays the foundation of excellent Irish contemporary sound has made it's place in the modern music industry. This 2 set CD gathers together some of the best work composed during the span of 2 decades. This is truly a journey to experience. This would be a great addition to anyone's collection who appreciates fine music.
Journey: The Best of D?nal Lunny Poster
D?nal Lunny (pronounced "Loony") is a guitar and bouzouki virtuoso, composer, bandleader, producer, and promoter who has founded, sat in with, recorded, and presented more than 30 years' worth of epoch-making Irish acts. Of course, a two-CD compilation cannot adequately relate his entire story, but this one makes a good start and even better listening. Many of his important band affiliations are represented, including the Bothy Band, Planxty, Moving Hearts (an especially legendary outfit), and Coolfin. Among the guest artists are Sharon Shannon, Christy Moore, Maighread and Triona N? Dhomnaill, Frank Harte, and Hossam Ramzy. The second disc concludes with "Millennium Suite," a spectacular concept work commissioned by RTE (Ireland's national broadcast company) and presented worldwide by the BBC on December 31, 1999. It showcases Celtic traditions from Wales, Northern Ireland, Galicia, Brittany, Scotland, and Nova Scotia, with each movement led by a musician from that nation. --Christina RodenFolk Music CDs
