Dolores Keane - Best of... (1997)

Info: Ik heb een paar recenties bijgevoegd, zie hier onder.

This is an essential collection chronicling the incomparable interpretive genius of Dolores Keane, spanning her solo career and also touching upon her early De Danann contributions. Among the 13 cuts are several previously unreleased tracks, as well as familiar songs covering a host of styles, including contemporary ballads penned by Dougie McLean, Paul Brady and Van Morrison. Also covered are John Faulkner's tribal "Lion in a Cage" and the World War II staple "Lili Marlene." Keane's take on "Galway Bay" might understandably be the definitive rendition of that song. Some of the arrangementsare sappy and overproduced, but it's Keane's natural and strong voice that demands all of the attention here.

This CD is a spectacular introduction to her work. Lion in a Cage is a vibrant Afro-beat tribute to Nelson Mandela. Most of the other songs are ballads of what we Irish do best -- longing for places and people or both that are far distant in time and space. My Love is in America, Galway Bay, Teddy O'Neill, and Far Away in Australia are the best examples. She includes three covers -- Let It Be, Van the Man's Have I Told You Lately, and Linda Thompson's Telling Me Lies. For my taste, only the latter matches up to the other tracks here. Similarly, The Island -- contrasting the horror of conflict with the personal peace of love -- is a concept which just doesn't quite come off as a song. Those, however, are quibbles too inconsequential to be even minor. Do yourself afavor and get your hands on this CD now. It will be weeks before it comes out of your player. As for me, I'll be sampling all her other work. Sometimes the later discoveries in life are the best of all.
