Nashville-based Irish-American singer/songwriter Danny Burns releases his debut album North Country which mixes Celtic folk, bluegrass and country. North Country is a self-produced collection that features an amazing set of guests: Tift Merritt, Holly Williams, Mindy Smith, Cara Dillon, Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Tim O’Brien, Dan Tyminski, Critter Fuqua (Old Crow Medicine Show), and Chessboxer. Album highlights include: the upbeat opening track celebrating New Orleans nightlife, “Let It Go”; the haunting Celtic ballad “Darling Roisin”; the lively nautical tale “Great Big Sea”; the melancholic reflective track “Hummingbee”; the upbeat Appalachian tinged “Human Heart”; a fiddle-laced Irish/Cajun country single “Look Into Her Eyes”; and the Gaelic-infused closer “North Country.” North Country is a solid debut from Danny Burns that should not be missed. – Written by JFelton
