Product Description
CD Description
Rosie Doonan returns with her new album Pot Of Gold, a collection of tales of heartbreaking yet redemptive stories, finished with her unique ethereal touch. Rosie Doonan has the ability to perfectly bridge the dichotomy between self-reflection and free expression that is eminently visible on her brand new album ‘Pot Of Gold’. Songs such as Darker Side of You' and title track' Pot Of Gold', whilst presenting themselves in completely different guises, deliver Rosie’s unique brand of heartbreaking yet redemptive stories, finished with her own ethereal touch. What makes Rosie different is the ease with which she draws you in to a situation you’re already familiar with. Perfectly highlighting this is first single ‘Fall For Me’ which evokes a time in everyone’s life where we meet a stranger and inexplicably fall head over heels. Follow this with the up-tempo yet torrid tale of break up, 'Lay Your Love', and you have the essence of what this very special songwriter is all about. Like all good things it’s taken time but Rosie Doonan has shown up at your door, guitar in hand, with another searingly brilliant album that you won’t soon forget.

Again a great album of this underestimated singer songwriter. Guys and girls you have to listen to it and you will become a fan to Even Hannah James and Sam Sweeney added their talent. Great guitar from Chris Hanks and listen to the backings of Katriona Gilmore.
Rosie you earned your gold.

Moving away from your previous audience comfort zone (in this instance the `folk' music scene) can never be an easy choice for any artist to make but let's face it, in the dog eat dog world of the music `industry' occasionally these decisions have to be taken...and not lightly. Still, Rosie hasn't forsaken her `roots' entirely although from the opening track "Fall For Me" it might lead you to believe otherwise. The startling introduction with full on drum kit bashing away like an unmixed session featuring the Muppets aptly named percussionist `Animal' might not be received too well in certain quarters but on the other hand, it might attract those looking for a fix of Lily Allen with a lyrical style that is...how shall we say...bloke-ish? For me though, it's the more attractive nature of the gently pulsating (I presume) tambourine and maracas exploited on the track "Lay Your Love" and the Mexican influenced waltz song "Into The Fire" that really take pole position on what turns out to be a very satisfying album. This recording could be a case of the `pop' world winning out to us sensitive `folkies' but hopefully it might be seen reflectively as a take-over bid for common sense and let's face it there's precious little of that coming from the likes of Tinie Tempah.

It was quite a wait between Rosie's last album, 'Moving On' and 'Pot of Gold'. She has a sublime voice but I feel that this is not quite such a strong set as 'Moving On'. The weaker tracks for me are the 'ukulele songs' of 'Pot Of Gold' and the vaudevillian 'Victor' while 'Nobody Better' pales alongside the other tracks.
I think the songs sang in a lower key are the pick of the crop and the 'Wind That Shakes The Barley' takes the listener back to a few years ago and the wonderful 'Mill Lane' with Rosie and Ben Murray.
I hope there is not such a long gap between 'Pot of Gold' and the next album which I hope is the the one that breaks her with a wider audience. Rosie Doonan has a unique voice and a real songwriting talent.
In the meantime, check out her 'outdoor' videos on You Tube which were shot near her hometown of Wakefield in West Yorkshire. I think they are called the Sandal Castle Sessions where she and Gary Stewart offer backing vocals on each other's songs.
