Music reviews of Shots

Music Review: AMAZING...
Rating: 5 Stars

I got this CD right after visiting Ireland... and I was so thrilled to listen to something that captured Ireland better than just the Irish Pub songs... Not that I do not like them, but this is just another WONDERFUL take on Ireland, not as hard as the punk sound, but definitely more in the rock area than the pub songs...

Description of Shots

Platinum selling artist Damien Dempsey is from Donaghmede on Dublin's Northside. Damien's earliest musical influences were the post-pub singsongs that his parents used to have at their home when he was a toddler. Today his unique sound reflects the influence of traditional Sean-N?s, as well as his musical heroes: Bob Marley and Elvis Presley. Produced by John Reynolds (Sinead O'Connor, John Spillane, Hothouse Flowers), Shots entered the Irish album charts at Number 1 and achieved platinum status in December 2005. In February 2006 Damien won the Meteor Award for the Best Irish Male category.
Born in Dublin's hard-scrabble Donaghmede neighborhood and known to his many fans as "Damo", this multiple-platinum-selling singer-songwriter won a 2005 Meteor (the Irish equivalent of a Grammy) for "Best Male Vocalist", having taken home two awards the previous year. His combination of melodic invention, a profane, painterly eye for lyrical detail plus a voice that shifts without warning from crudely confrontational to poetry incarnate, has attracted attention from superstars like Bob Dylan, Morrisey, Shane MacGowan (the Pogues) and Sinead O'Connor. For his third album, the production values are a bit more polished than previously -- and with a back-up team that includes Eamonn de Barra, Justin Adams and Brian Eno, it's no wonder! But Dempsey's earthy, satirical, wrong-side-of-the-Liffey, tell-it-like-is tendencies remain intact as he addresses the bitterness of poverty, teenage angst, drug addiction and other urban ills that so often afflict working class people. The USA release features three live bonus tracks, "Negative Vibes", "Factories" and "It's All Good", taped during his sold-out 2005 Olympia Theater (Dublin) performances and accompanied by an impromptu chorale of audience members who have clearly committed every single word to memory. --Christina Roden
