Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Waterbound (Dirk Powell)
Sorry Stringsinger I must beg to differ - the Transatlantic version with Dirk is a fine example of fusion music. I saw the band in Gateshead a couple of weeks ago (unfortunately missing Bruce Molsky and Tim O'Brian)but it was a still tremendous night.
The interplay on this song between whistle, fiddle and banjo is sublime - sometimes sounding Irish, other times almost Peruvian.
This is a great song and must be dedicated to the poor unfortunate souls of New Orleans, the Ganges Delta, Queensland and dear old Cumbria in the UK.
