Doolin' - Doolin' - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2016 from France's premiere Celtic band, one of the freshest and most exciting Celtic records of the year. Natives of Toulouse, Doolin' worked with legendary Irish guitarist John Doyle in the producer's chair to achieve a sound uniquely their own - deeply rooted in traditional Celtic music but wonderfully flavored with French chanson, American roots music and even hip hop straight from the streets of Paris. The band traveled to Nashville, Tennessee to record the album and worked in the legacy studio now owned by Compass Records where the Outlaw Movement in country music took root in the late 1960s. The resulting experience infused Doolin' with an infectious energy. Collaborations with special guests Jerry Douglas (dobro), John Doyle (guitar, bouzouki), Alison Brown (banjo), and Kenny Malone (percussion) brought stellar results on stand out tracks that include a reworking of the Steve Earle classic InchGalway GirlInch and Bob Dylan's InchBallad of Hollis BrownInch.
