Joe Derrane and John McGann: The Man Behind The Box |
| Detailed Description |
|
The warm, reedy sound of a traditional wood-case button accordion is one of the most joyful sounds in Irish and Cajun music. And when the legendary Joe Derrane is behind the box, it's always a toss-up: should you jump up to dance or just sit back and revel in his blazing speed and endless inventions? At 17, Joe cut six hit 78s that changed the Irish box forever. Six decades later on this CD, probably Joe's best-ever, he's still revolutionizing the tradition. And John McGann's in-the-pocket accompaniment is enrapturing. His super-tight, super-original guitar, not to mention his heart-wrenching mandolin airs, enhance the tradition. As for Mapleshade's part, Pierre is willing to wager this CD sounds closer to a live accordion than anything you've heard.
