Donal Clancy - On The Lonesome Plain

Donal Clancy's new CD is a classic recording of a man and a guitar, great material beautifully played and sung. - Martin Simpson.D�nal's latest album On the Lonesome Plain features a mix of seven vocal tracks and six guitar instrumentals, including two of his own compositions A Strike for Victory commemorating the 1916 Easter Rising and an instrumental piece entitled M�irse�il na Conrach, preceded by The Green Fields of Canada, this is a particular highlight and showcases Donal's fingerstyle playing to great effect. Other standout tracks are Open the Door Softly from the pen of Scottish Folk legend Archie Fisher and the classic ballad Reynardine. Most of this recording happened serendipitously in the Spring of 2015, while experimenting with various microphones and guitars.
