Damien Rice | CD Vol. 1 | DALI Sound Academy

DAMIEN RICE

The track is quiet, silent and borderline apologetic in its atmosphere and ambience.

Damien Rice is the youngest artist featured on this DALI CD. Born in Ireland in the early 1970s, Damien was interested in music from childhood. After releasing several tracks with the band, Juniper, Damien set out on his solo career in 1999.

Track: Cannonball (D. Rice)
Album: 0 (2002)
Label: 14th Floor Records
Appears on: DALI CD Vol. 1

In September 2001, Damien Rice released The Blower's Daughter in Ireland, the first single taken from the as yet unfinished album. The single reached the top 20 and his ensuing tour was a resounding success.

Cannonball, taken from the album 0 released on February 1st 2002, was immediately lauded by the critics as mesmerising, absorbing, adventurous and emotional.

The weak, emotional and vulnerable voice of Rice paired with his equally expressive and sometimes almost helpless guitar playing makes this track such an enjoyable listen. It is quiet, silent and borderline apologetic in its atmosphere and ambience. It all links perfectly to his lyrics, summing it all up to a sensitive, sincere and softly spoken love song – rare and very nicely done.

John Campbell - Vol. 1

John Campbell's dark, raw and expressive voice underlines the lyrics of the old Tom Waits song 'Down In The Hole' so effortlessly. In our opinion, it is a great recording from a great musician.
