5.0 out of 5 stars First Impressions Never Lie, 28 Oct 2004

By	Kris Hughes (Colorado) - See all my reviews

This is the first solo recording released by Irish fiddle god Kevin Burke way back in 1973, before he joined the Bothy Band.
I admit to being a big fan of his playing. Although this is not the first of his recordings that I owned, in many ways it is my favourite. Perhaps it is a little closer to the Sligo style than some later recordings (although one could make too much of that) and perhaps I also like it because it lacks much in the way of studio trickery, although most of ot it is surprisingly well recorded.
Conceived as a somewhat experimental collaboration between Burke's (at the time) pure Irish style, and American "old timey" music, the backing seems a little inappropriate here and there, yet is sensitive enough that it never detracts much from the overall effect. This is in part because even on his first outing Burke's playing is so strong and expressive that it just seems to naturally take the lead. There are also a number of entirely solo tracks.
This Smithsonian Folkways 2000 reissue is impeccably packaged, with an extensive booklet that includes an autiobiographical section by Kevin Burke, which helps place this recording in the context of his life and musical career, plus his notes on all the tunes. Also a discography, etc.
