The Road To The West - sleeved in the beautiful, dreamlike art of pre-war Belfast art visionary John Luke - encompasses influences that range from the bittersweet country sound of Emmylou Harris to the sweet soul of Paul Carrack, the yearning spirit of Irish traditional music, and the glorious noise of The Who. Featured musicians include international trad fiddle virtuoso Martin Hayes (playing electric!); Ireland's only Woodstock veteran Henry McCullough (Joe Cocker, Wings), (playing acoustic!); solo guitar star Colin Reid; and Texan prog-rock maestro Barry Bynum. Core band includes pianist Brian Connor (Eleanor McEvoy/Van Morrison) and drummer Liam Bradley (Ronan Keating/Van Morrison) plus Irish dobro ace Colin 'Hillbilly' Henry TRACK LISTING: 1.
