Review

Concertina and button accordion player John Williams may have been born in America, but he comes by his feel for traditional Irish music naturally. His father and grandfather both played squeezebox in their native County Clare. Williams plays the music of his ancestors with a combination of Old World respect for tradition and New World energy. On this self-titled debut, tin whistler Micho Russell, guitarist Randal Bays, bouzouki player Eoin O'Neill, and fiddler Martin Hayes join Williams for a set of beautifully played dance tunes and airs. The duets with Hayes are particularly inspired and passionate. Sadly, this turned out to be the final recording session for Russell, who passed away shortly after it was finished. --Michael Simmons
