 Maura O'Connell
"Wandering Home"
Just when it seemed Maura O'Connell
was leaning toward a decidedly contemporary pop sound, she abruptly
changed gears and made an album with a predominately traditional
spin to it. This shouldn't come as a surprise to those familiar
with her live shows. Presenting sets of music composed of torch
songs, traditional Irish songs, and pop, folk and country selections,
O'Connell has always displayed a broad musical palette for her
listeners to enjoy. The one constant is that Maura O'Connell
has consistently shown her talent as a fine interpreter, often
adding theatrical touches to her performances that add immensely
to her live performances. Using some of Ireland's best musicians
to accompany her and recording in Dublin, O'Connell pays tribute
to her birth country with Wandering Home. Denise Sofranko |
