The Baileys - A Song For Ireland

From Jackie Sweeney's beautiful painting on the cover you should get the vibe that this album is something special, then when you hear the beauty in the grooves, you are full aware that this is a work of love. For their first outing, these two well established Irish musicians have chosen 20 of Ireland's favourite songs and given them a beautiful and very considerate treatment. Nothing is overplayed, in fact understatement is the order of the day. With the musicians being a conduit for the songs and with some consideration you will agree with us that the reason these songs (so often bullied and underrespected) have become part of the Irish physchee is they are bloody great songs! In the hands of The Baileys they are allowed to shine (and bring you their magic) in the spotlight once more.
