Recent Additions 5 : Bap Kennedy Let's Start Again

My first introduction to Bap Kennedy was his 1998 Steve Earle Produced album Domestic Blues.  That was an excellent collection of songs based on what Bap claimed was an exploration of the connection between Irish and Country music.  He nailed that on that solo debut.

Since that debut he had recorded a number of themed albums (not quite concepts) based on Hank Williams, Elvis and Neil Armstrong with varying degrees of success.

Saw this recently and was advised that it was his best in a while - it is very tasteful, laid back and nice Sunday Morning music. Recommended (but try that Domestic Blues as well)
