Review

At this point Karan Casey has carved out a name for herself that is separate from her old band Solas. Her past solo efforts have been solid as the singer makes new and old material her own, particularly on the spare ballads. Here the singer ups her creative stock with a capella versions "Brown And Yellow Ale" and "Jimmy Whelan," both are standouts that showcase the soprano's voice at its most lilting and musical. On the rest of Chasing The Sun, she's solidly backed by her acoustic working band and a few guests. While the music has a strong traditional bent to it, Casey wades through modern themes in her lyrics (six songs are Casey originals) that include such atypical imagery as F16s, a vengeful Mother Earth and Palestine as well as more traditional ones like drink and the love of a good woman. Casey makes her points beautifully and incisively throughout, only reaffirming her status of one of today's great Celtic singers. --Tad Hendrickson
