Trama: Generally regarded as, along with Mary Black, the finest Irish singer going, O'Connell got her start in Ireland's thriving acoustic music circuit, though she has never been a traditional vocalist. Her voice is neither showy nor subtle, but it exudes warmth, generosity, and quiet strength. She's an interpreter, not a writer, someone who looks with an eye for the poetic, and generally finds just the right songs: "Summerfly" is a Cheryl Wheeler classic, "Trouble in the Fields" is an early, tough Nanci Griffith narrative, and "Western Highway" sounds like classic Americana. <I>--Roy Francis Kasten</I>
