Weekend Music -- Our Last Back Pages

 

Indulge us one final time as we continue to visit the blog's music attic to relive some musical joys from years past -- some well known, others not -- that we liked then and now.  

We're providing the date and the link to when the songs originally appeared in Hackwhackers.  Hope you enjoy.

Weekend Music

We haven't featured the wonderful Irish singer/ songwriter Lisa Hannigan in a while.  We await a new album which is expected this August.  In the meantime, this is a song from her 2011 album, "Passenger," entitled "Little Bird."

Weekend Holiday Song -- Safe Travels

For any of you traveling on Labor Day in the U.S., please travel safely.  We and Irish chanteuse Lisa Hannigan would want it that way.

Mid-Week Effervescent Song

This is Lisa Hannigan's newest single, "What'll I Do." IMHO, her voice and her presence just radiate joy (o.k., I'm in love).

Weekend Songs

Even though this weekend (well, Monday) is Halloween in the U.S., we refuse to post "Monster Mash!" Instead, we have two Irish artists: once again, the incandescent Lisa Hannigan (from Dick Mac's Pub in Dingle!), and early Irish R&B rockers Them, with lead singer Van Morrison (and Jimmy Page, then a session musician, on rhythm guitar). We suspect the videographer on Lisa's video had a few pints earlier. Enjoy your weekend!

Two for the Weekend

We recently heard a few songs by Irish singer/songwriter Lisa Hannigan from several years ago (this Hackwhacker finds it hard to keep up with the "new" stuff!). She has a quirky presence and bell-clear voice that enhances the charm of her folk songs. We couldn't choose among several beauties, so here are two to hopefully whet your interest in further exploration. (As always, apologies for the annoying ads.)
