This is possibly one of the bravest collections to hit the shelves in quite a while. Robbie Overson, guitarist and composer who forged his reputation with Scullion, and has more recently been working with the Karan Casey Band, has finally made his own solo début. We've had a taster of it down through the years at live shows, where he briefly stepped into the limelight with his pensive and intricate Maguire & Patterson. This gathering of tunes opens the curtain wide on Overson's considerable writing talents. With just one (divine) tune borrowed from Dingle piper Eoin Duignan, his taste is for reflective, moody and hugely melodic capsules of music, tinted with the barest of decoration by mandolin, percussion and double bass. Late night music to still the soul. |

In 1998, Scullion reformed to re- record Eyelids into Snow for use in a commercial for Nissan. They also recorded a new version of Down In The City, a Sonny Condell classic from his first solo Album Camouflage. These new recordings along with the other tracks are taken from the first Scullion Album to be released since the last century. BUY NOW |
