The Wind That Shakes the Barley [from Sunny Spells and Scattered Showers]
Solas - Topic

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRo0RPMyCVY

Solas comes from the heart of the lands of old Ireland, County Philadelphia. The band is really good too. Or was. The latest album I know of, "Shamrock City," is dated 2013. This track is from the early days featuring vocalist Karan Casey.

It seems to me I first heard Lizzie No on WFUV in New York City.

WFUV (non-commercial) and WRSI are my two favorite music radio stations. WFUV has an excellent mobile app and WRSI is getting one, soon I am told.

MUIREANN BRADLEY
"Freight Train"

Is Muireann Bradley the Next Big Thing? She is getting some pretty good puffs. Though she sings mainly country blues, I am hashtagging her to SingerSongwriter because it seems to me she would be of interest to singer-songwriter fans. This is the first track I latched onto on her new album.
