The Big Picture
Rogue Records
COUNTRY/ROOTS
BAP KENNEDY’s previous albums, especially his STEVE EARLE-produced debut,‘Domestic Blues’, have topped the American Alt-country charts and havehelped establish him as one of Ireland’s most gifted songwriters andperformers. His new album, ‘The Big Picture’, is without doubt his best
record to date – a seamless blend of Celtic Soul and Southern Roots thatfeatures contributions from VAN MORRISON (at whose Somerset studios much ofthis album was recorded), legendary POGUES frontman SHANE MACGOWAN, andCAROLYN CASSADY, the widow of beat icon NEAL CASSADY. Bap has also recruiteda crop of hugely talented players that include pedal steel maestro BJ COLE,TOM WAITS’ bassist RORY MACFARLANE, KIERAN KIELY & JAMES WALBOURNE. Thisrecord is widely accessible, and should appeal to any fans of folk, country,soul and blues music. It’s also a must for anyone vaguely interested in VanMorrison, his newly penned co-written (with Bap) “Milky Way” is a stunningexample of his famous Celtic Blues. Licensed to ROGUE RECORDS from LOOSEMUSIC, UK home to M.WARD, NEKO CASE, HANDSOME FAMILY and myriad otherquality new roots artists. Check the fantastic UK press so far: MOJO
