Entertainment Wire Service Article Details Fri, 9 Nov 2007 01:54:09 -0600 Review: Greencards at the Granada in Dallas Texas 11-09-07 - Dallas, TX - "It was my pleasure to experience The Greencards at the Granada on Greenville Avenue in Dallas. Music with a passion surpassed only by it's execution. Pure musical genius at so many levels. The Greencards were nothing short of spectacular. It would be an understatement and misunderstanding to define this band by a genre, culture or continent. I watched an exhibition of transcendent exuberance. It was a celebration in sound. The Greencards are capable of delivering a bluegrass theme framed in Appalachian tradition, flavored with a freshness that I would call "the twist". It might have just been my imagination, influenced by the knowledge of their Australian origins, but at times I thought I caught that Australian influence in the haunting under-tone of Aboriginal didjeridoos produced by the viola and fiddle of Eamon McLaughlin. It seemed like a nod to a cultural influence carried by The Greencards across continents and time. Carol Young the group's lead singer and bass player was stunning with sensitive ballads and three part harmony when Kym Warner, on Mandolin, joined Eamon for vocals. Eamon's fiddle was, at times, both sensitive and haunting while capable of sucking the last breath of oxygen from the theater in a cyclonic furry. The instrumental solos were life memories. Folk, country, bluegrass or Americana, I heard it all with a genre smoothing elegance. Carol was a lesson in charisma, playing an electric bass guitar with a grace un-match by any bass player I have ever seen. Kym's exhibition on mandolin was inspirational. I have rarely seen fingers so unencumbered by the mechanics of an instrument that the expression of the music was absolutely unaffected. The Greencards delivered a soul fillingly, culturally rich, modern, original interpretation, of traditional folk music that resulted in two standing ovations. The solos alternately moved the audience to tears of appreciation and extreme exhilaration. The Greencards are surprising. It was a concert of a lifetime. I highly recommend their latest CD "The Greencards Viridain" and a ticket to every performance you can make." - Music Critic - World Entertainment Network - READ MORE - SOURCE: ENTERTAINMENTWIRESERVICE.COM Articles are provided for the public and private use of our readers.
