- W278313589 abstract "Around the Hills of Clare: Songs and a Recitation from the Jim Carroll and Pat Mackenzie Collection Double CD + 40 pp. booklet. Musical Traditions MTCD331-2/Goilin Records 005-6, 2004. As a rule, when people with an interest in Irish music refer to localities famed for their rich inheritance of traditional music and dance, County Clare is one of the first places that trips almost unbidden off their lips. In my own experience of travelling to Clare in search of music, or perhaps even more importantly, of a certain ambient environment where traditional music sits comfortably, this reputation is well founded. No surprise then that there should be a strong tradition of unaccompanied solo singing in such a place. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Irish traditional music, song, and dance is now a global diasporic phenomenon. Not only does it have a vibrant life in the places throughout the English-speaking world touched by large waves of Irish emigration throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, but it also extends to many countries in the non-English-speaking world, in particular continental Europe. That said, however, it is important not to lose sight of the culture and environment from whence this tradition, no matter how 'professionalized' it has in some cases become, has drawn its strength, creativity, humour, and vitality--that is, the house ceilis and sessions of (primarily) rural Ireland. The house session may be less common nowadays, for a myriad of sociological reasons, but it is still an eminently sensible environment for the enjoyment, simply put, of company and community. It is arguably the most conducive place to appreciate traditional song in particular at its understated best. In these timeless, relatively small gatherings, the idealized cosy Ireland of the folk imaginary may well be present, but it is only as part of a more general expression of the human condition in all its complexity. I make no apology for the pleasant nostalgic feeling that this comprehensive recording, Around the Hills of Clare, evokes in me. Compiled from recordings made by Jim Caroll and Pat Mackenzie, for the most part in the mid-1970s--a total of fifty-seven tracks--it is, all in all, an interesting and engaging production. The presentation pack is a neat DVD format case, which includes two CDs, a booklet with a general introduction on the area, notes on the songs, song lyrics, and profiles and photographs of the performers. Listening to these singers, some of whom I have been lucky enough to meet and whose company I have enjoyed, I can feel the heat from the turf fire on my face and taste the hot strong tea (sometimes laced with whiskey if desired) in my mouth. …" @default.
