"Northern Bridge" by Christy O'Leary
by Sherrill Fulghum
Artist: Christy O'Leary Album: "Northern Bridge" Year produced: 1997
Irish born Christy O'Leary has been playing the uilleann pipes since he was 12 years old. After 25 years Christy or playing Christy has recorded his solo debut album "The Northern Bridge". Christy now resides with his wife in Sweden where he has learned some Scandinavian tunes; thus the title "The Northern Bridge".
The album is a fine collection of 12 traditional and contemporary Celtic and Scandinavian tunes. Frequently all accents and dialect is gone when a person sings, but not so with Christy O'Leary, the Irish brogue comes through in his songs. The addition of non-traditional instruments like the electric bass and piano serve not as a detraction from the music but instead enhances the songs.
Any fan of traditional Irish music and/or the uilleann pipes will find Christy O'Leary's music a nice addition to their musical CD collection.
