WILLOS'

One for the Road

Philippe Cousin

I introduced them to you a few years ago when their previous album From Now On was released. However, the Willos' adventure began in Siena, Tuscany, in 2000, with a repertoire focused on Irish and Scottish music.

Over the years, the band has developed its own unique style, influenced by Irish tradition and the musicians they have collaborated with, including Liz Carroll, John Doyle and Athena Tergis. To celebrate their 25th anniversary, they are now offering us One for the Road, their fourth album. A collection of nine tracks that blend Celtic tradition and original arrangements with personal compositions, instrumentals and songs carried by the voice of Canadian Fiona King: Ophelia, Sweet Bonnie Lass From Belfast and Ghost Ship.

She is accompanied by a line-up of excellent musicians. Stephanie Martin, Irish violinist, Massimo Giuntini (uilleann pipes, whistles and bouzouki), Lorenzo Del Grande (flute), Giulio Putti (bodhrán) and Luca Mercurio (guitar).
Nine tracks but nineteen tunes, a number of which were inspired by famous traditional musicians: Liz Carroll, Paddy O'Brien, Niall Vallely, Brian Finnegan, Alan Doherty and Michael McGoldrick.
All the songs are linked by a common thread where energy, rhythm and emotion are present from the first note to the last. Let's wish this friendly Italian band many more years of success.
