Listen to excerpts from American Wake |
|
Tinsmith Tinsmith's third recording, An American Wake, is their strongest yet...full of the rhythms of Ireland and Appalachia, it is a musical picture of the trip so many immigrants made from the Old Country to the New. Tinsmith uses all the skills of their multi-instrumental members to perform traditional Irish songs like "Thousands are Sailing" in rollicking bluegrass style, elegantly embellished by Avril Smith's WAMMIE-winning instrumentals. They skip just as easily to America and esoteric Appalachian ballads like "Bolts and Locks" - a driving song powered by Rowan Corbett's elemental rhythm guitar. In all their songs and tunes Henry Cross adds his tasteful bass, arranging skills and rich voice, and Brooke Parkhurst continues a long tradition of beautiful, powerful and award-winning vocal performances.
