GERALDINE BRADLEY From the Rising Spring/Cloch Fhuaráin
No label
In the right hands, songs seep into the soul, excavating its depths with more alacrity than the best psychiatrist. Armagh singer Geraldine Bradley's voice has a visceral quality, burrowing beneath the skin of a song and unearthing its essence while not trying too hard.
Her appetite is refreshingly catholic as well, stretching from the taboo subject of familial desire on Fill Fill a Shagairt, soaked in a glorious northern cadence, to the murderous gentility of Henry Lee, which she wisely bathes in harmonies that Ralph Stanley would surely have approved of.
Bradley's vocal confidence ebbs and flows throughout this collection, cushioned and buffeted by producer Neil Martin's judicious use of cello and other strings.
Solo, she shines too, particularly on A Bhean Udaí Thall - a naked, suitably dessicated thing of beauty.
