GUEST,mariner Dan Milner&Bob Conroy C.D.Review. (3) Dan Milner&Bob Conroy C.D.Review. 29 May 01


Thought ya'll might be interested in the following review from The Sunday Tribune(Dublin,27th May, 01)of the above mentioned gentlemen's C.D. "The Irish in America". "Nicely crafted, gutsy ballads set to guitar and banjo. Singing is passionate, backing and tunes by fiddler Brian Conway, accordianist Billy McComiskey, and piper Eloit Grasso are tight and well placed. Tales of work, hardship, outlaws and politics by exiled 19th century lyricists include Milner's 1856 "West Rutland Marble Bawn" and Conroy's "Billy the Kid". "Hard Working Miner" in placed in anthracite mines, "Scovill's ", in a steel mill, "Mc Nally's" in slum housing. Other pieces are tales of railroad working, Irish soldiers in the Revolutionary and Civil wars,all with strong union consciousness.Exhaustive notes give huge dimension to this hugely -interesting album.". Sounds good to me, I'm off to my local record shop look for a copy A.S.A.P.
