Red Sails in the Sunset

0 - Default Title
Description
Brian Kennedy is one of Ireland's most successful ambassadors of music. He is not only a prolific songwriter but also a master interpreter of lyrics and audiences around the world continue to praise his exceptional vocal talent. Red Sails in the Sunset features seventeen tracks including many songs that featured in the second, highly successful BBC Northern Ireland TV series, On Song, Red Sails in the Sunset is a typically eclectic and marvellously entertaining collection. Stylistically varied it may be, but Brian's usual high quality standard remains a constant. The album features Brian in duet with several guest vocalists namely Juliet Turner, Ralph McTell, Liam Clancy, Lulu, Moya Brennan, Eddi Reader and, in possibly the most inspired pairing of all, former WBA Featherweight boxing champion, Barry McGuigan. The contrasting timbres of the guest vocalists allows Brian Kennedy to match his considerable voice with his guests in a way that allows both parties to shine and the results are spellbinding. Whether it is songs of displacement and yearning, such as the Ralph McTell opus, "Clare To Here", or the rambunctious, carousing and breezily good-time romp of "Irish Rover" (with Liam Clancy) Brian is in his element, his creativity given full free rein. The album's opener (and also the debut single) "The Island", penned by one of Kennedy's great Irish singer/songwriter contemporaries, Paul Brady, is a duet with Juliet Turner and the two conspire to produce a performance of awesome emotional appeal.
