Review by Edy Bruno Filho

A Handful of Songs, the latest album by Paddy McKeown, is a delightful collection of traditional Irish folk songs. The album features McKeown's soulful voice accompanied by a range of instruments, including guitar, fiddle, and bodhrán.

The album kicks off with the upbeat "The Galway Races," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. McKeown's voice is emotive and captivating, drawing the listener in with each verse. The album also features some of Ireland's most beloved folk songs, including "The Wild Rover" and "Whiskey in the Jar."

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Fields of Athenry," a haunting ballad about the Irish famine. McKeown's rendition of the song is powerful and moving, highlighting the pain and suffering of the Irish people during that time.
