ISLA GRANT - Isla Sings Hank

ISLA GRANT is well respected for being one of our top singer songwriters, so when her new album, “Isla Sings Hank” (IGE label) arrived, it marked quite a departure for the lady.
As the title suggests, this is an album of Hank Williams classics, from the opening track, “You Win Again”, to “Move It On Over”, “Hey Good Looking” and “Take These Chains From My Heart”.
What is really impressive, however, is just how she makes many of these numbers sound like they are her own. Best examples of this include, “There’ll Be No Teardrops Tonight”, “Why Should We Cry Anymore” and “When God Comes And Gathers His Jewels”,
There no less than 14 tracks on here. All of Hank’s biggest hits, done in Isla’s own way. The album was recorded in Galway with some great musicians, including Charlie Arkins, Declan O’Donoghue and Martin Cleary. The whole album has a very traditional Country sound, without losing the Isla Grant sound that is her trademark.
