Review

Unlike many contemporary Irish fiddlers, who tend to whip through tunes as if there's a prize for finishing first, Connie O'Connell plays at slower tempos. O'Connell is from Sliabh Luachra, a border region between the counties Cork and Kerry that is famous for its traditional musical culture. On his solo debut, he delivers a selection of well-played jigs, reels, flings, slides, and hornpipes. He's backed sparely by a guitar, cittern, or piano playing subtle rhythms, directing the attention squarely on the beauty of the melodies and the sweet fiddle tone. O'Connell grew up listening to his mother play melodeon at house dances, in the process learning that the mark of a great fiddler is not speed, but how many people he can get dancing. Don't be surprised if Ceol Cill na Martra gets you jigging and reeling across the floor. --Michael Simmons
