Artist...SHARON SHANNON
Album...OUT THE GAP
Label...SOLID
Cat.No...ROCDG14
Review.."Out The Gap" is Sharon's second album, taking off from where the first one ended. Ms.
Shannon is quite simply an extraordinary accordion player and it's easy to see why she is the only
female ex-Waterboy.
Her recent shows with Nanci Griffith have only added to her increasing popularity and her
talent is beyond question. In addition to "Out The Gap" Sharon is also heavily featured on the latest
"A Woman's Heart" compilation of female Irish musicians.
"Out The Gap" is a very universal album in terms of influences taking in tunes from many
parts of Europe & America but with common themes holding the record together.
There's some quite strange titles for the imagination to conjure with and the musicianship
throughout is excellent, not just Sharon's but that of the musicians supporting her.
"Out The Gap" is an album that shows what traditional music should be about and that
maybe it's time it was reaching a wider audience.
