Songs From A Corner

by Niall Connolly

jimlesses The album’s title song, Peeling Back The Sky is a great opener for what is a mostly subdued first album from Niall Connolly, a performer I ‘discovered’ after catching a live-stream show from Boston’s famed Club Passim. I especially enjoyed the sound of Karl Nesbitt's low whistle on several tracks, which adds a delightful Celtic feel to the album. Aisling Fitzpatrick’s unobtrusive work on cello is also worth noting. Other faves: You Know I’m Not Going Anywhere, Echo Bridge, and You Know Best. Favorite track: Peeling Back The Sky.
