While no new Bill Whelan album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1997 tour in Australia. I think this is best Celtic album. This disc has all of the essential Bill Whelan classics. Great Celtic right here!
Once you hear O’Donnell’s Lament, you will listen to it over and over. What sets Pedro De Zubiaur apart is Bill Whelan’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. First time I heard Fr. Conry’s Jig was on radio driving in my car and sonically it just sounded amazing.The Storm is another strong production from Bill Whelan. I have all of Bill Whelan’s tracks and The Coast of Galicia is probably the most his introspective effort. This is the most melodic ambitious and satisfying track in The Seville Suite (Kinsale To La Coruna). This track is a great song that still never gets old. I like to sing along with Timedance ‘92, though I mess up the lyrics sometimes. Within the first few notes of Dun Briste it’s perfectly clear that Bill Whelan is living this song.
