Kirkpatrick, John - Make No Bones 2 x CDs
SKU
05-FLED3065
Accordion master Kirkpatrick is one of the greats of modern British music. I saw him in Richard Thompson's band and even though he was in the company of one of the OTHER greats of modern British music, he dazzled with inventive solo after inventive solo.
"This is two CDs of recordings by John Kirkpatrick -- each one representing one half of a typical evening's performance. No frills, no additives, just how it comes. To come straight to the point, John Kirkpatrick is widely acknowledged as a master of the squeezebox. A world-class musician who has been at the forefront of the British folk scene for nearly 40 years. To "make no bones" about something is to say or do something without delay or scruple, regardless of the consequences; to be honest and direct without any risk that the statement may be misunderstood; to come straight to the point. This is two CDs of John Kirkpatrick performing traditionals and originals at his very best."
"For members of the audience not familiar with John Kirkpatrick's work under his own name, this set provides an excellent introduction. And for the few who think that one man singing in an English accent and playing accordions might be boring, listening to these disks will dispense with that idea."-Sing Out!
