Hello all three of you who read this! Sometimes I wonder if anyone reads what I write or listens to the music but at least I feel like I am sharing my discoveries.
I don't know why I do this but I will see the name of an artist repeatedly and something will stop me from listening to them. Over and over again I will think that I won't like them so I don't even try. I did this with Mic Christopher, one of the first artists I put up. When I finally broke down and listened to him, Sidney Lanier's quote "music is love in search of a word" made sense to me. My world would have been lessened by not clicking on that link and listening to the song "Heyday" by Christopher. A similar thing happened recently with the artist Lisa Hannigan. She is Irish, like Christopher, and actually preformed with him. I finally watched a concert I found on Youtube with her and James Vincent McMorrow (another wonderfully talented Irish musician worth checking out). This concert was a brilliant proper introduction to Hannigan. Her voice is warm and rich and her Irish accent comes through in a wonderful way. Her voice has an ethereal quality and like all of the other musicians I have talked about her music is true art. The video I have posted is three songs from the Hannigan/McMorrow concert I mentioned. Enjoy!
Love Lisa's voice! The song with James reminds me, obliquely, of 9 Crimes (as James does, not necessarily in a dead ringer way, of Damien). I really appreciate your selections and your sensitivity to music!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jana! Her voice really is fantastic! Damien is brilliant as well and their voices pair together so wonderfully.
