Arguably the world's finest living Bard. Sean performs poems, songs & story's from Celtic literary giants. This one is either Scottish or Irish :"Wild Mountain Thyme aka Oh Will you Go Lassie Go. It is from Sean's now legendary performance at Gallagher's Country Wisdom, Spring City PA Nov 2006. The Irish Times -- Friday, May 18, 2012 Seán Tyrrell by SIOBHÁN LONG:Walker of the Snow Longwalk Music ***: May 2012: The sparse landscape of the Burren provides an apt backdrop to Seán Tyrrell's sixth solo album. Walker of the Snow takes its name from a poem of the same name by Charles Dawson Shanly, published in 1859. By turn world-weary, tender and deeply philosophical, Tyrrell wanders through vastly different landscapes, from the suitably wayward and Wildean Reading Gaol to the bittersweet ambivalence of the timely closer, I Can't Help But Wonder Where I'm Bound, borrowed from Tom Paxton's songbook. Tyrrell's plaintive vocals have come into their own on this collection, possessing a spare, echoic quality that recalls Ry Cooder's in Paris, Texas. Tony Trundle partners Tyrrell's lilting mandola with a perfectly throaty fiddle on The Lark in the Morning -- reinvented by Seán's indefatigable optimism. Here be folk music as it was meant to be: pugilistic at times, all embracing at others. Tyrrell's appetite for telling it like it is is as unquenchable as ever. seantyrrell.com
