Recorded live March 17, 1998 at the Flynn Theatre, Burlington, Vermont. 90 minutes.
The explosion of interest in Celtic music has trained a bright spotlight on the Irish-American band Solas, whose eclectic menu of songs veers alternately toward American shores and back toward County Kerry. Solas Live, featuring a 1998 performance in Burlington, Vermont, filmed for Vermont Public Television, boasts no tricky camera angles or graphics-enhanced effects, but simply allows Solas's infectious music to take center stage. Vocalist Karan Casey (who later left the band to pursue a solo career) is in top form, spinning yarns to introduce the songs and then breaking into her pure soprano. Fiddler Winifred Horan surely ranks among the finest contemporary Celtic musicians, and her lightning-quick playing is truly breathtaking. Highlights include Woody Guthrie's "Pastures of Plenty," the very traditional-sounding "She Is Like the Swallow," and the toe-tapping "Big Reel of Ballynacally." And Seamus Egan's fiery flute on "Patsy Touhey's Set" will stay with you long after the disc is over. --Anne Hurley
