Nuts & Bolts

Before I even heard this fine new offering from Dave and Shane, I was struggling with where to start writing about the amount of respect that I have for these two musicians. Their musicianship and their longstanding ego-free approach to their craft, both together and through their long careers as musicians of the highest caliber, is already an established pretext with anyone listening to Irish music that is paying attention.Their work both as sidemen and producers as well as band members, session musicians and individual musicians in their own right requires little if any proof from me or anyone else in order to stand firmly on the strength of the merit of their work itself.
