Renegade

Irish music supergroup Sharon Shannon, Michael McGoldrick, Dezi Donnelly, and Jim Murray have come together to deliver an album that is as wild and unpredictable as a pint of Guinness on a Tuesday night. "Renegade" kicks off with a fiery fiddle solo from Dezi Donnelly that sets the tone for the rest of the album - energetic, foot-stomping, and full of surprises. Shannon's accordion skills are showcased throughout, weaving in and out of McGoldrick's flutes and whistles like a musical game of tag. The standout track, "Rebel Rouser," is a whirlwind of Celtic rhythms and infectious melodies that will have you dancing around your living room like a madman. It's impossible to sit still while listening to this track - trust us, we tried. But it's not all high-energy jigs and reels on "Renegade." Tracks like "The Road to Corrandulla" and "The Galway Girl" showcase the group's versatility and emotional depth, proving that they are more than just a bunch of party animals. Overall, "Renegade" is a rollicking good time that will transport you straight to the heart of Ireland, pint of ale in hand. So grab your dancing shoes, pour yourself a drink, and let Sharon Shannon and her crew take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Sláinte!
