Hit: 5 Stars
This is a great album by one of the best fiddle players out there today. The first track out of the box begins with an absolutely sizzling original, Seven, paired with two traditionals. But Liz Carroll can make even the most well-known traditional tune sound like fresh musical experiences. Just when you thought you've heard every variation of tunes like The Silver Spear and The Musical Priest out there...Liz Carroll kicks them to another level, adding two big handfuls of her own compositions into the mix. Years ago I had the privilege of seeing and hearing her at a local music festival workshop and she and two other fiddlers (one a particularly well-know and exceptional player) each in turn played the same well-worn old tune, Liz playing last. Oh--My--God. The tune by itself was well-known and fairly...average, but when it was her turn to play it, you could have lit up the canopy with the sparks that flew out of that ax! This CD is filled with that same kind of energetic, crispy, original playing. Her arrangements are fresh and lively, even in the slower selections. The originals are wonderful additions to the pantheon and I've already been driven to learn a couple of them myself so I can try and be impressive at the next session. Anyone who loves driving, energetic but stylish Celtic style fiddle music will love this CD. Accompaniment by some of the best guitar, bouzouki and percussion out there as well. Well-mixed and arranged to compliment every last ounce of Liz Carroll's incredible playing. A real rhythmic and instrumental joy. Particularly energizing during long drives or otherwise tedious tasks (just watch it that you aren't tempted to exceed the speed limits...fastest 400 miles I've ever done!). And, apologies to all you vocal lovers...no singing to distract from the wonderful instrumentals! Smooth, swinging with back beat to raise the dead. Not "New Wavey", if that's what you were looking for. And the title track, Lost in the Loop is loads of fun. Slinky, spicey, crunchy and firey. Love this kind of Celtic fiddle? This one's for you.

Chicago-born Liz Carroll is a former all-Ireland fiddle champion with a repertoire that encompasses various regional Irish styles as well as her original creations. Lost in the Loop was produced by fellow Irish-American Seamus Egan of the band Solas; he plays percussion and penny whistle and takes a guitar solo on "Lament of the First Generation." Most of the guitar parts are played by Solas's John Doyle, and Solas fiddler Winifred Horan trades fiddle lines with Carroll on a couple of tracks. Carroll often combines her own compositions with traditional jigs and reels, as on the hard-driving medley of the traditional "The Old Maid of Galway" and the original "Lizzy in the Lowground." Chief O'Neill, the 19th-century Chicago police captain who collected and preserved the music of his native Ireland, must be smiling from somewhere beyond the Loop. --Rick Mitchell
