Life Cycle Of A Falling Bird

a time line of sorts through slide guitars, deep bass tones and lo-fi arrangements. lyrics of an irishman and the wizardry of a guitarist set on the subtle and simple beauty of acoustic sounds. this is for those who like an alternative approach to country - a different perspective on the banjo - a wandering with the pedal steel guitar and a conversation with the honest. hannigan's introspective whisperings tell tales of the human life cycle from childhood memories to grumpy old age breathlessly pondering love, loss, despair and hope. the natural raw sound of shimmering acoustic, upright bass and soaring pedal steel guitar provide the backbone to these finely crafted songs. the album features backing vocals from riley briggs and kirsten adamson of aberfeldy and the gillyflowers. each cover is hand printed on a stephenson blake proofing press using letterpress and woodcuts.
