SALLY BARRIS with ASHLEY JONES opening

Sally Barris knows how to write lyrics that are as forthright as a stream of clear water and how to support them with melodies that share that quality. She sings in a light, expressive soprano that is reminiscent of Claire Lynch and Aoife O'Donovan. For this trip into connecting Celtic and Americana sounds, she's invited along musicians who know how to do that in an understated way. They include fiddlers Stuart Duncan and Andrea Zonn; Jon Randall, who plays guitar and adds harmonies; and Byron House on bass. -- Kerry Dexter, Dirty Linen
