Fantastic Album from an Underrated artist.......2006-05-18

Brian Kennedy is a most-underrated singer-songwriter from Ireland. This album is the soundtrack to a TV series that he did in Ireland which links songs to certain areas of Ireland. Songs like 'Sweet Sixteen', 'From Clare to Here', 'Peggy Gordon' and 'The Island' are all polished masterpieces. This is not just for Irish-Folk music lovers as there is something here for everyone. Those lucky enough to 'discover' Brian know what I am talking about when I say that he has the voice of an angel and delivers a song like he was singing directly to you.

The Man With The Golden Voice.......2005-08-21

You've probably never heard of Brian Kennedy, or perhaps you have. The first time I heard Brian sing was with Van Morrison on tour. I was blown away, while some of the rude Pantages audiance was booing Brian because he was singing Van's song, SOLO, without Van. I remember feeling horrible for him, but he seemed not to be fazed. By the end of the evening I do believe there was a greater appreciation not only for Brian, but everyone else that took the spotlight (Georgie Fame, Candy Dufler). Brian was so ehteral and beautiful. I had been to Ireland and took a great interest in the music that came from that small patch of land. I tracked his music down, usually on-line at a UK contact.

I have much of his music, but I will say Red Sails In The Sunset may be his best, but it really is right there with On Song, the precurser to this CD. He does several duets. He has a real talent for choosing just the right voice for each song. And if you're old enough to remember Lulu, she is wonderful on Peggy Gordon.

If you really want to see Brian do his thing, "Brian Kennedy Live in Belfast" is the closest you may get. It's a wonderful performance in his home town with what seems to be all his friends and family. He does many of the songs from On Song.

I can't see how you could be disappointed with this CD if you have any interest in beautiful voices and steller songs to show case them.
