Danu - Think Before You Think
While many of the new breed of folk musicians are constantly exploring new directions, there are just as many--and an equally large audience--whose aim is to maintain the status quo and preserve the tradition in its purest form. Listening to Waterford seven-piece Danú's second album "blind", it could easily have come from any point after the Chieftains' debut album in the late 1960s, such is its timelessness. The band's youth brings a boundless energy to the proceedings but the material and approach to it are firmly passed down from their musical forefathers. Tom Doorley's flute playing is hugely indebted to Matt Molloy's and is just as effective. The album covers a range of boisterous jigs and reels, all steeped in Irish musical history, plus a smattering of slightly less absorbing songs. Danú were voted the best live act of 2000 in one poll and are by far at their best when heading off at full steam, tempered by an undoubted musical virtuosity. For those who like their Irish folk straight down the middle, Think Before You Think may be indispensable. --Phil Udell Binding Audio CD. Artist(s): Danu. Publisher(s): eOne Music. Label: eOne Music.
