Most definitely not endless ... that's what makes each day worthwhile
I'm trying to pick singer/songwriters that may be new to some people. In any right thinking world Paul Brady would have been an international megastar. I first came across him when I bought an album by The Johnstons around 1970 I think. Like Sandy Denny, John Martyn and Richard Thompson above, Paul Brady's songwriting emerged from a background in traditional music. His songs are always immaculately crafted and he deals with some very tricky subjects with tremendous sensitivity.
The Island was written about the troubles in his native Ireland. The sentiments are just as relevant today.
