Green Linnet to release Martin Hayes & Dennis Cahill’s “Welcome Here Again”
Martin Hayes & Dennis Cahill -”Welcome Here Again” (Green Linnet)Nashville, Tenn. - Irish fiddle virtuoso Martin Hayes and Chicago-born guitarist Dennis Cahill possess a rare, almost telepathic musical kinship. The duo’s new album, “Welcome Here Again,” is a fresh departure.
Eighteen tracks with the same burning intensity and depth of emotion found in their previous collaborations, “The Lonesome Touch” (1997) and “Live in Seattle” (1999). It was once common for Irish musicians to record one tune at a time, to make each one a self-contained masterpiece. In “Welcome Here Again,” this tradition is revived.
The mesmeric rhythms, the tantalizing slow release of melody, the extra tone from the viola or a tuned-down fiddle, all of that and more can be found on this album.”Welcome Here Again” is the first release on Green Linnet Label since it’s acquisition by the Compass Records Group in 2006.
Beginning March 1, 2008, the Compass Records Group will kick off a year long Green Linnet relaunch campaign.
