ELDERS - CD AMERICAN WAKE

Popis - AMERICAN WAKE:
On “Story Road” the band explores more history, legends, & tall tales, and expands upon the stories & characters encountered during their travels. Stories of people, places, events, death, love & heartache are spun throughout the lyrics, and fueled by new explorations in musical sound and style. Seamlessly merging pop, rock & traditional Celtic textures, the album features the strong vocal harmonies & blazing instrumentals that fans have come to expect. Fiddler Colin Farrell brings much of the instrumental heat to this collection, contributing three original tunes in the traditional Irish style. Their first single, “Meetings of the Waters,” is about a young man’s coming of age, with the title paying homage to Irish poet, Thomas Moore, who, as legend has it, was known for luring and seducing willing subjects with his wit & charm. The legendary “Meetings of the Waters’” is the location in County Wicklow, Ireland where Moore pinned some of his most famous works… and is also where singer Ian Byrne spent much of his youth. “Even the Great Ones Fall,” is a tribute to the late Levon Helm of The Band. “The Miners” is about a 1917 mining accident in Butte, Montana that claimed the lives of 168 men.
