David Kincaid - "The Irish-American's Song" Promo

Details

Description

Limited supply CD with 12 authentic songs of the American Civil War's fighting Irish - Union and Confederate! Includes 36 page full-color booklet with complete lyrics, Civil War period graphics and photographs, and historical liner notes by noted author Joseph G. Bilby. This is the last batch of this album in CD or any other physical form, and when they're gone, we won't be pressing any more. With the advent of streaming, these have become too expensive to rendered pretty much obsolete. The main appeal of this package, however, is the music along with the printed 36-page booklet. Being able to hold that in one's hands, perusing through the pages is something that can't be replaced.

David Kincaid's highly acclaimed first album, "The Irish Volunteer," received such critical accolades as “one of the most emotionally credible Civil War recordings ever made, as well as a superb, irresistibly melodic Irish folk recording" (Scott Alarik-The Boston Globe), and "Stirring stuff.” (Dick Hogan-The Irish Times). Even Irish folk-music legend Tommy Makem was quoted as saying “I have come across a young man named David Kincaid. He has such a wonderful CD out, of tremendously good songs, and he does them so well.” On the heels of those reviews, this subsequent offering, entitled “The Irish-American’s Song,” is sure to enchant once again the fans of this music and history. It differs from the first in that in consists of songs from both the Union and the Confederacy; all of them from the perspective of the Irish –oftentimes pitted against each other– in the great tragedy of the American Civil War.

From sound of the fretless, gut-string banjo, period parlor guitar, uilleann pipes, fiddle & button accordion, to the nineteenth century four-part vocal harmony arrangements and piano, every effort was made to give this recording the authentic feel and sound of the Civil War era. We are delighted to announce that the principle musicians featured on the previous album were again available for this recording. They are, of course, Liz Knowles-Fiddle (Riverdance, Cherish The Ladies), Jerry O’Sullivan-Uilleann Pipes & Whistle (Shanachie recording artist), and John Whelan-Irish Button Accordion (seven time All-Ireland champion and Narada recording artist). Also again featured are Frank Giordano-Harmony Vocal & Guitar (The Brandos), Seth Farber-Piano (Willy DeVille Band, Hairspray- Broadway musical), and Anik Oulianine-Cello (Thoroughly Modern Milly-Broadway Musical). David Kincaid handles the Lead & Harmony Vocals, Guitar, Banjo, Mandolin, Bodhrán & Bones, as well as the recording engineering, arranging and production.
