Kennedy's Kitchen flying high in USA Top 10 with "The Birds Upon The Trees"

This album has come back to our attention again as it is presently in the US top ten selling albums as compiled by rampantlion.com. Its called The Birds Upon The Trees and have had it on our shelves for a while so it is worth a mention. As a group Kennedy's Kitchen has been playing and recording together for over ten years. They came together through the session circuit and found themselves being invited to play at parties in there local area of South Bend, Indiana, USA. From there things took off and before they knew it they were gigging regularly. They play "everything from backyard parties and weddings to pubs, concert halls, and national festivals".

This is their forth album and includes that interesting mix of songs and tunes that you would encounter in a typical kitchen session. A lot of the old standards are covered with tracks like The Blackberry Blossom, The Drunken Landlady, The Red Haired Lass, The Swallows Tail and many more. There is a fine balance to the recording with some strong vocals as well. Kennedy's Kitchen comprise Nolan and Liam Ladewski on flutes and whistles, Chris O' Brien on fiddle, Rob Weber on bass, Jacob Turner on bodhrán, joHn Kennedy ( That's how he writes it ) on guitar with, many of them adding vocals.
