| |
| Information on Aindriu Conroy is hard to come by - partly, one suspects, |
| because this young Irish blues excavator aspires to the murky coolness |
| of his inspirations, Mississippi John Hurt and Skip James. He describes |
| his music only as "songs in the key of D", and Close to Cotton is just |
| that: a six-track, 18-minute mini-album composed primarily in one key |
| and sung in one register. But if Ain ploughs a narrow furrow, he does it |
| well. Sleepily plucking an acoustic guitar, he commands attention by the |
| old gambit of being the quietest person in the room. There's a bit of |
| Neil Young to his raw-boned croon, and more than a bit of the Bad Seeds |
| to the lurid pictures he paints of his "dead-eyed mistress". Excellent |
| listening for the bleak midwinter. |
