Free Music Review: Dynamic Reinvention
Hit: 5 Stars
In celebration of ten active, energetic years, Solas played a concert with every current and former band member, and pretty much anyone who ever contributed to their albums. The result is this high-spirited live album and accompanying concert video. Watching and hearing this concert, it's easy to see how Solas barged into the calcifying Celtic music market of the mid-1990s and turned it into the spry festival it is today.
Seamus Egan and Winifred Horan serve as guides, talking us through the history of the band, how so many great members have paid their dues in Solas' ranks. When Celtic legends like John Williams, John Doyle, and Karan Casey appear in interviews and onstage, it's clear that this is a true Irish supergroup. And even when they just talk to the camera, the members' love of the music is undeniable.
I prefer the DVD over the CD. The band members are such active, dynamic performers that watching them is as much a joy as hearing them. And although they're such massive stars, there's no trace of ego. Watching Karan Casey, Dierdre Scanlan, and Antje Duvekot trade vocals on "Reasonland" is an education in itself of why a band as powerful and demanding as Solas can last ten demanding years.
Solas can trade licks with the most energetic rock band going. And it's not just their instruments (how many Celtic bands have a drum kit and electric guitar on stage?). It's the relentless love of what they do, the passion for music. This band is not just a bunch of preservationists; they're truly doing something new, always reinventing themselves and their music. And this concert displays them at their fiery best.
