Synopsis

Product Description
Double Play picks up where 2005's In Play, Liz Carroll and John Doyle's first critically acclaimed album left off.

Demonstrating continued maturity and invention with a selection of new compositions by both Carroll and Doyle, Double Play also features Doyle's take on a Dick Gaughan song, "A Pound a Week Rise", which, in it's original incarnation, paid tribute to the miners of Scotland and England who were involved in a 1984 strike. Classic John Doyle material!

The original tunes on the CD range from tributes to Irish musical greats such as The Irish Tradition (Billy McComiskey, Brendan Mulvihill, Andy O'Brien) and Tommy Makem (The Clancey Brothers and Tommy Makem), to more personal tunes, named for influential family members. Many of the sets include tunes by each of the musicians, who have seamlessly brought them together in the way that only like-minded artists at the top of their game can.
 

CD Reviews

Even Better Than "In Play!"
Michael Streeter | Provo, UT | 08/01/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is the most amazing fiddle music I have ever heard! I bought "In Play" a week ago and loved it. I hoped this album would be as good, and to my surprise it was even better. Most of the tracks are very fast and very technical. This isn't music to relax to. It keeps you engaged. I think the best way to describe it is that Liz Carroll really "rocks out" on the fiddle."
Brilliant!

"Brilliant playing, inventive settings, gorgeous tunes (original and traditional) and songs. What more can you ask?"
