In Still Getting Away with It Chris has produced a masterwork of extraordinary breadth and depth. The CD, at a little over an hour long, contains 18 tracks, 10 of which are original compositions. Balancing virtuosity with lyricism and ranging from the dark and hypnotic Pear Drops and Fourteen Pounds via the haunting Air on a Shoestring, the smoky Moanin’ and the tender Closing Time to the helter-skelter Not Likely! and the joyfully effervescent Québec Reels, it’s a perfect showcase for his extraordinary skills as guitarist, mandolinist and arranger.
Guesting are Arty McGlynn, Nollaig Casey, Simon Mayor, Paul Buckley, his brother Mark, Roy Whyke, Davy Stuart and of course, Máire Ní Chathasaigh. |
