Damien Rice - O

My good friend Mitch requested this album a few days ago, and unfortunately I'm just now able to post it. Please forgive my tardiness.

In any case, this is an album that deserves to be posted. Honest and stripped down, the music tells just as much of a story as Rice's open-chest lyrics do. Beautifully written songs, lush with violin and featuring Lisa Hannigan at times [I just got my hands on her solo album, I'll post it soon]. If you are a fan of the up-and-coming Irish folk scene that includes The Frames and The Swell Season, and this album has somehow escaped your attention, then I feel like this is the perfect opportunity to rectify that mistake.

Tracklisting:
1. Delicate
2. Volcano
3. The Blower's Daughter
4. Cannonball
5. Older Chests
6. Amie
7. Cheers Darlin'
8. Cold Water
9. I Remember
10. Eskimo

Highlight Tracks: "Volcano", "Older Chests", "Cheers Darlin'", "I Remember"
