All Things Considered

by Danu

Overview

The youthful seven-man traditional Irish group Danu continues their investigation of fiery authentic Irish jigs, reels, and ballads on their second CD for Shanachie Records, entitled All Things Considered. Roughly half of the songs are the instrumentals that the band has become famous for at festivals worldwide, but the most successful songs are the ones sung the by gentle-voiced Ciaran O Gealbhain, whose ballads and folk songs provide a welcome respite from the whirling blasts of the band's reels and jigs. Recorded over two years at Liam Clancy's studios in County Waterford and rehearsed over two years in nearby Mooney's Pub (seven generations in the family of Danu piper Donnchadh Gough), the tracks resonate with the deep wooden tones of both the pub and the legendary studio, each song flooded with rich history and warm companionship. ~ Zac Johnson
