Review: Maura Kennedy - Villanelle

 Hi!


 In my last post I recounted the wonderful night I spent in Southport watching The Kennedys, during which I picked up a copy of Maura Kennedy's new solo album.

 Having listened to and greatly enjoyed Villanelle: The Songs of Maura Kennedy and B.D. Love, I wrote a piece for Cuckoo Review detailing how the album came into existence - because it has quite unconventional roots - and giving an overview of the different musical styles it incorporates.

 I hope you enjoy reading it.

My top songs lyrics-wise

This is not my ultimate list; I would have to put a lot of time and thought into that. But here is what I can think of at this moment in time. All beautiful songs with very poignant and memorable lyrics.
REO Speedwagon - Can't Fight This Feeling

The Waterboys - The Whole of the Moon - just beautiful. Like a poem.

Dire Straits - Romeo and Juliet

Fleetwood Mac - Songbird (I love Christine McVie! She is my inspiration for becoming a better pianist); Sara


Pretty much anything written by Nanci Griffith, or by Ricky Ross of Deacon Blue (two very different people but both extremely gifted songwriters in my opinion. You'll be hearing a lot about them in this blog!)

I like to think that I enjoy a wide range of musical styles, from country to pop to soft rock. I also like both current tunes and music from the past.

I have spent most of my life with a song stuck in my head, and I don't think that is likely to change! Music is a deep passion for me.

I'll sign off for now, but I'll be back with more music and groups and artists and songs and lyrics!

Until then,

Liz
