Details:
Patsy O''Brien has released a new album of self-penned material that reflects his penchant for seamless genre-hopping, as well as showing off his critically acclaimed songwriting skills.
It''s been a busy time for the US based Irishman, what with supplying the driving guitar rhythms on Irish/World Music diva Eileen Ivers'' last European tour, to treading the boards with Piping legend Paddy Keenan, who also sprinkles some of his own magic onto a few tracks on Patsy''s album.
For all that, though, Patsy''s interest in contemporary songwriting as well as his Jazz influences are also apparent, and "WHAT YOU KNOW" his second solo Cd, is a 14 song testament to his abilities as songwriter, guitar player, singer and interpreter, the latter being most evident in a blistering jazz/blues version of
"Star of The County Down" with Paddy Keenan on low whistle, an arrangement of the old Irish ballad that inspired Irish music critic Paul Dromey to declare Patsy "Ireland''s best - kept musical secret."
