Rory McLeod - Travelling Home

Re-issue of 1992 album, Travelling Home, from one man soulband Rory McLeod. 'Back To Donegal' is a Bacchie delight of banjo, fiddle, uillean pipe and spoons-filled Irish tunes. A joyous travelogue. A high energy 'Coney Island'. And there's socialcriticism that's not detached and dogmatic. Rather, he breathes a passionate angry fire into songs about the ruin and rot of our country, (the rhumba-esque 'Defending Our Homes') or racism (a hearty adaption of Broonzy's 'Black Brown & White'). And then there's a more light hearted edge, 'Compatability', a chirpy duet, is a witty analysis of a relationship. Soulful, passionate & transcendent. A blinder of a record - fRoots
