Rice confronts his demons and the result is beautifully expressive music worth paying a few bucks for the listen.
"Keen" as a noun or verb comes from the Irish Gaelic term "caoineadh" (to cry) and references to it from the seventh, eighth and twelfth centuries are extensive." After a bit, I want to tell her to shove off, just as apparently DH did shortly before I saw him live. I wish I could pull her off this cd and listen to DR as I heard him in concert. He is very funny, neither sad nor a depressing git at all.What has worn on me with this cd is LH. I keep coming back to this cd. Her keening doesn't wear well at all and it has made me put this cd away for awhile several times. Saw Damien in Wash.DC couple years ago. It remains brilliant. Again, brilliant.That being said, I saw him as a solo act without Lisa.
Enjoy. An all around good pick if you enjoy similarly styled artists. I enjoy this CD from beginning to end. I purchased it a few years ago and it is still relevant in my collection.
There is no one like Damien Rice. For those who do like Damien Rice, check out the two ladies who play in the group, (Lisa Hannigan and Vyvienne Long) they have excellent music also. This is one of my favorite albums of all time from one of my favorite musicians of all time. Anyone who hasn't listened to him, should listen to this CD. Buy this CD, its a masterpiece. His live albums are also fantastic. I was even lucky enough to see him live when I lived near philly a few years ago.
Higly recommend. Damien Rice is so passionate, you can hear on the music that he creates. The all album is great, what a great musician, and with Lisa Hannigan.what a duo.
