Memphis Minnie is certainly smiling at Muireann's incredible performance. This brilliant young lady is in a class class by herself. Controlled, authentic and nuanced. Muireann is simply wonderful.
Last Sunday I went to a blues concert by the amazingly talented Jerron Paxton during the interval everyone was talking about Murianne Bradley and how exciting it was to have a young person keeping alive the old country blues styles. Keep up the great work girl
The bass is driving and insistant and the treble wonderfully free and fluid, it's a great mix. I remember trying to get my fingers around Stefan Grossman blues stuff back in the day and never got anywhere near this level of playing. There's some seriously happy artists looking down from above and applauding, the baton has been handed down.
I have been going to Buskers nights for almost sixty years now. In the early days everyone finger picked the guitar and there were some brilliant musicians around. These days finger picking is a dying art everyone now just sings and stums basic chords. To make things worse everyone seems to play the same songs. It's such a refreshing change to hear this young girl who has put hours of practice into mastering these forgotten guitar styles sing and play . Well done lady!!
Ever since I saw a very brief clip of this track in the video where Muireann took delivery of this wonderful sounding guitar, I have been waiting in anticipation for the full version.......and it's been 100% worth the wait. I'm no expert musician, but I know what I like......and Muireann's voice and blues picking hits the spot every time, without exception. She is just an unbelievable talent!
Absolute Heaven for my soul‼️ I gotta tell all the young Irish transplants in my neighborhood, about her…lots of em have been working here when school’s out & many stay. 🇨🇦
I had doubts about it : a little girl singing "drunken" Blues? but: it sounds just wonderful, guitar and voice! 👍 she has the sound, she has the rhythm!
I do a little pickin…. im 72…. sure wish I could play like this at her age…. wow.. that finger pickin is not as easy as it looks.. it takes a few years to get all those fingers working independently.. Well done young lady.. you have a new fan.
