Review

West Virginia native Tim O'Brien is one of a handful of master musicians that manages to be both cutting edge and traditional at the same time. Primarily known as a folk and bluegrass player who can charm and cajole with a wide variety of stringed instruments, he has of late been turning to bridging the ocean and ages by finding the common denominators between Irish and Appalachian musical forms. On Two Journeys, he brings together renowned American and Irish musicians on tracks as disparate as "Mick Ryan's Lament"--a take on "Garryowen" (General Custer's unofficial marching theme) that tells the ghostly story of a man who would have preferred dying with his brother at Vicksburg than at Little Bighorn--and "Norwegian Wood" sans sitars. For those who love the best that wood, string, whistles, and wit can produce, O'Brien has perfectly combined Irish and American forms without losing either the mirth or the melancholy of either. --Henry Cabot Beck
