Solas - Solas - LP

Acclaimed Irish-American Debut on Vinyl LP

Solas is the dazzling 1996 debut from the celebrated Irish-American quintet of Seamus Egan, John Williams, Winifred Horan, Karan Casey and John Doyle. Multiple All-Ireland champion Egan plays no fewer than eight instruments, Williams is a gifted button accordionist, Horan weaves classical touches into earthy fiddling, Casey possesses a crystalline voice, and Doyle provides faultless guitar rhythms. Together they produce a marvelously spirited, richly textured sound — one of the most exciting Irish records of its era.
