Music reviews of For Love and Laughter

Music Review: Not their best
Rating: 4 Stars

I have been a fan of Solas for over 10 years and have seen them live countless times. Though the line-up of musicians has changed over time, the quality of music remains fantastic. Although new vocalist M?ir?ad Phelan is a beautiful person as well as a talented singer, I find her vocal style to be too soft and airy for the Solas that I know and love. Of course, no one can quite replace Karan Casey. Musically, it is amazing. Seamus and co. have brought forth a powerful traditional sound, as always. If you like this one, you will love their earlier work, as well as side projects from Winnifred Horan and former Solas members Karan Casey, and John Doyle (especially his work with Liz Carroll).

Description of For Love and Laughter

For over a decade, Solas has been hailed as the leading Irish-American supergroup. Through line-up changes and experiments with style and technology, the band has pushed the boundaries of but never strayed too far from their Irish roots.

Now, as M?ir?ad Phelan, an exciting young singer from Kilkenny, steps up to lend her exquisite vocals to the existing line up of Seamus Egan (flute, tenor banjo, mandolin, whistle, guitar, and bodhran), Winifred Horan (fiddle), Mick McAuley (accordion and concertina) and Eamon McElholm (guitar and keyboards), the band heads into their second decade of playing tight, fiery Irish music with a new tour and a new CD, For Love and Laughter .

The new material breaks fresh ground in duets with Canada s folk phenoms The Duhks and an inspired rendition of Rickie Lee Jones s Sailor Song, while it offers the imaginative reinterpretations of traditional material that Solas has been playing to the delight of their fans worldwide.
