What began as a one-off project among giants of traditional Celtic music has blossomed into a full-time endeavor for Patrick Street. No. 2 Patrick Street picks up where their debut left off, though this time the group feels a little more comfortable in their own skin.

Accordion player Arty McGlynn and fiddler Kevin Burke have become a single unit, utilizing their instrumental wizardry on each and every song. Like agreeable siblings, they burn through \"John Mckenna\'s Jig,\" \"Hard by Seifin/Woodcock Hill,\" and Jackie Daly\'s own \"Sweeney\'s Wheel\" with a fervor that is awe-inspiring. Vocalist Andy Irvine provides the record\'s most memorable tune, \"William Taylor.\" It\'s the tale of a woman who joins the British Navy in the guise of a man to rescue her betrothed, and features an infectious melody and strong playing (and singing) from the entire collective. Irvine also does a great reworking of Woody Guthrie\'s \"Tom Joad,\" and offers up his own politically charged anthem with \"Facing the Chair.\" Patrick Street, with their newfound confidence, have the potential to be a true force of nature within the burgeoning Celtic music scene, and the divine No.2 looks likely to pave the way for a third offering.
