Truth be told, Irish music is the language of my heart. Though I have only known the country as a visitor, the tune and song of the older generations are more my home than any physical location. Many past musicians, geographically displaced, found the same solace in the music. Their playing was rarely characterized by an obsession with technical precision and dazzlement, but rather by an outpouring of the heart. They expressed their personal joys and sorrows through the tunes, but respected the tradition passed on by those that came before them. It is my intention to do the same with this offering. - Justin Bonar-Bridges Cincinnati fiddler Justin Bonar-Bridges has been listening carefully for a long time to the great Irish traditional musicians, past and present, while quietly building a reputation among those who know the music best. Now he's released his first solo CD, and it's a gem of an album that was well worth waiting for. His deep understanding of the music and careful attention to details of phrasing and ornamentation are apparent, but what really distinguishes this recording is Justin's great musicality. In an era where most traditional music recordings feature bands and heavy-handed arrangements, Justin has taken another, bolder route, with most tracks played solo or lightly accompanied on bouzouki or guitar, allowing the tunes themselves to take precedence. I'm delighted to hear this fine CD and I highly recommend it. - Randal Bays, Seattle.
