Bap Kennedy "The Sailor Revenge" produced by MK; release date January 30th 2012

Yes I know, just listening at the moment. I was just kidding. I mean what if I DON'T like what I hear.... But all good so far... (but to be honest sounds all very similar, and I just wait for a nice and fat MK guitar solo!  )

Some nice MK fiddling on the title track.

So here is my judge: If it was the new MK album I would have been disappointed... Nothing spectacular... the music and band is playing nice but the song writing seems not that strong to me. But maybe I should listen more to it...

It struck me that Bap's voice somehow is a blend of the voices of John Mellencamp and .... Jon Bon Jovi???

It's very difficult to me to find the MK touch in many of the tracks he plays. Actually if someone says to me that he doesn't plays at all, I could believe it...

"Shimnavale" is the only song so far that I can hear MK's guitar playing, but I have only heard the four songs from Bap's site, because I am not a member of Facebook, but I have just ordered the album on the basis of those four songs, which I really like.

At the end of Sailors Revenge you can recognise a bit MK guitar too.
But yes, i agree with jbaent.

No, I don't know what U105 is... I suppose some British TV or Radio channel?

Very nice recording!!
Many lovely tunes! I will buy it!

My CD arrived today and I have just finished listening to all of the songs for the first time.  I tend to agree with LE that it is very nice and pleasant to listen to, but perhaps the songs are all a bit in the same vein.  The band sounds great and I can definitely hear MK on the CD more than I could from when I listened to the four on Bap's site.  One thing though - I can't hear MK's or, indeed, any backing vocals on "Celtic Sea".    Anyway, I think it's something which will grow and grow with more listens.   

[PixelPerfect]

Awwww! I can't get the software for sampling the music to work for me!

[Jarle]

So, does anyone hear Mark's voice on Celtic Sea?

I've listened twice now to the whole album, and although it's all very nice, a whole album of "nice songs" is too much for me.  I can't bring myself to listen to it again.  Oh well another
