Music reviews of Wayward Son
Music Review: Does it get any better than this? Now it Doylen't...
Rating: 5 Stars
...wow. Sorry for the platitude, but this record defies any honest response save for shear wonder. For years, Doyle has been an absolute rhythmic powerhouse, developing a staggering vocabulary for Irish rhythm guitar playing whose influence was immediate and pervaisive. I emplore you to go straight to the first two Solas records and bask in the unrelenting drive and thrust he brings to their sound. But before you go there, BUY THIS RECORD. For while Doyle's rhythm and lead guitar chops remain in impeccable form, what astonishes most about WAYWARD SON is his singing. His first vocal forays (on later Solas projects and his solo debut album on Shanachie) seemed a wee bit timid and hesitant, despite the obviously attractive timbre of his voice and his assured phrasing. Here he emerges fully as a vocalist, even taking on Nic Jones's arrangement of "Captain Glenn" with no trace of being intimidated by that great man's definitive (until now) version.
Doyle is accompanied by an amazing array of musicians -- including Danny Thompson, Alison Brown, Tim O'Brien, Stuart Duncan, and old Solas mates Seamus Egan and John Williams. Doyle's driving guitar makes drums somewhat unneccessary, so master percussionist Kenny Malone chooses instead to color the songs with tasteful splashes and subterranean accents.
I could go on and on, but frankly, this is one of the absolute finest albums of the year. Don't miss out. Buy two and give one to a friend. No one will walk away disappointed.
