Ireland's Karan Casey

Karan has been a favorite of mine since seeing her show at the Williamsburg Regional Library last year. Guess I'm one of those she calls a loyal folk follower.

One of the staffers at New Quarter is originally from Belfast. When I showed hime the CD I'd bought and told him how much I liked her music, he said something like, "Yea, the Irish like to sing those songs about the troubles and such." Joe's not much into folk music and prefers other Irish artists like the band U2.

Here's a YouTube video and an NPR interview. Enjoy!
