Absolutely loved Anna Coogan, just what I needed in my sleepy state. Has a very 90s feel to it for me. I know that could be cause she's doing something that influenced what was popular then as opposed to something necessarily started in that time frame, but since I grew up in that decade with a lot of sounds similar to hers, that's what I associate it with.I actually think the recording is really good for her sound, it's just the people in the background that are annoying.
I started your playlist extremely tired, so decided after that one, I'd check out the ones you mentioned and come back tomorrow.
Bruce Molsky - I'm curious why you didn't think I wouldn't like this guy. I love Celtic music and I really like Brave's music. I'm guessing cause his voice has some country twang, but for me it works with the song, and its melody sounds very Celtic to me, regardless of his voice, which I actually really like. I think there's a certain key or melody in which twang irritates or bores me, but he isn't singing in whatever that is. lol
Elizabeth LaPrelle - Now this one I can see why you think I'd say "nay," as I was really liking the banjo, then when her voice kicked in and had those spikes in volume with her twang, I said "oh dammit." lol But very quickly, I got sucked into its atmosphere, and wound up really liking it, too. The stripped down quality is haunting, sort of reminds me of "Jolene," but much slower, and I love the song "Jolene." Granted, I don't know how often I'd go back to this one, but if those two were supposed to be the worst, I can't wait for tomorrow! er, later today. lol
