Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
On Blue Idol, Irish music superstars Altan have come up with an elegant solution to the problem of how to play music that satisfies both the traditional purist and the fan who wants a more contemporary edge to the music. When they play instrumental sets of dance tunes, they never stray far from their Donegal roots, and when they sing songs they stretch the boundaries by performing with guest artists like Paul Brady and Dolly Parton and adding unexpected instruments like didgeridoo and saxophone. On songs like "Daily Growing" and "Uncle Rat", which feature the exquisite voice of Mairéd Ní Mhaonaigh, the band creates a mood of jazzy medievalism that shows hints of Pentangle's early recordings. And when they hunker down for a set of jigs or reels, they play with the sort of passionate abandon you only hear at the finest sessions. The contemporary and traditional strains of music on Blue Idol are like two streams that join together to form a river that flows further and with more power than either could alone. --Michael Simmons
