Music reviews of Street Life
Music Review: a legendary band in finest form
Rating: 5 Stars
I haven't heard of all Patrick Street's albums, but I've heard enough, and I've seen the band in concert a couple of times. So I know its music reasonably well, sufficient perhaps to judge Street Life among its finest studio outings, possibly its best. At the peak of its powers, Patrick Street offers up a pleasing balance of richly imagined instrumentals and well-chosen songs. On some of the tunes, horns -- employed with commendable restraint and exquisite taste -- augment the standard strings-and-accordion sound with which Patrick Street has so distinguished itself over its history.Everything sounds good, but to my ear the particular standouts include, for one, band veteran Andy Irvine's ambitious attempt to fashion a traditional-sounding Southern-mountain song. "Down in Matewan" is perhaps inspired in part by the John Sayles film about the bloody labor wars waged in the West Virginia coal mines in the early decades of the last century. There are also splendid readings, again with Irvine's willowy vocals, of traditional gems "Barna Hill" and "Green Grows the Laurel." Ged Foley sings the bittersweet reflection that is "The Diamantina Drover," written by Australian folk singer Hugh MacDonald. Foley first recorded it years ago with the House Band, and it's always been a favorite of mine. The tag line -- "I won't be back when the droving's done" -- is so weighted with existential resignation that it'll just about stop your heart.
