Our Press Release:YOUNG DUBLINERS SIGN WITH 429 RECORDS:
For Immediate Release: Santa Monica, CA: Fans have been waiting long and impatiently for the Young Dubliners take on the great songs born of Ireland and finally, they will be rewarded by 429 Records release of WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, THE IRISH SESSIONS. Keith Roberts and his raucous band of Irish transplants and local Los Angeles musicians locked themselves away in the studio for seventeen days at the end of 2006 to focus on creating a definitive shout out to the masters of Irish song past and present. Roberts refers to the song selection as the best of the best representing poets, playwrights and vagabonds, Indeed, centuries old traditional melodies shimmer bookended by distinctive romps through the songcraft of Shane McGowan which brush up against the wistfully sad lyrics of Irish poet Patrick Kavanagh. WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, THE IRISH SESSIONS is in stores February 13. The Irish Sessions is nothing if not a labor of love for the Young Dubliners. What was once a project that seemed to take forever to come to fruition ironically came together in a rapid fire recording session. Great thing too as the album retains a remarkably raw live feel. Although better known for their brand of hard hitting original Celtic rock music, reinterpreting the work of other Irish songwriters takes the band to passionate new heights. The songs evoke deep emotions that burst through the organic production. Produced by Tim Boland and mixed by Ken Sluiter, Sessions remains poignant while unearthing the rocking soul found in the traditional and the modern. Says Dubliners irrepressible lead singer/founder Keith Roberts of the overwhelming demand for an album of Irish covers: ''They asked for it, so we gave it to them! And had a lot of fun along the way.'' Track list for With All Due Respect--The Irish Sessions: 1) Follow Me Up To Carlow, Traditional 2) Fall From Grace With God, S.
