I would love for you to do Kylie Minogue specifically from her TV special, an Audience with Kylie, 2023. She sings I Should Be So Lucky accompanied just by a piano. It’s a very different song from the recording. I’d love to hear what you think. kzread.info/dash/bejne/X4KT1qymgM2vpLQ.htmlsi=tcjqJReb8ckjm26u

She's amazing!

She is an absolute genius, her performing of "when the levée break" devastated me emotionnally. I love Ireland where I travelled many times , that's good news , we have another Diamond.Greeting from France.Serge.

Thanks for bringing this iconic artist to light. What a talent.

Her voice is immaculate. Beautiful stuff

As a guitarist, that finger picking technique is so intricate. It's not easy at all, even for a seasoned player. It's similar to that of Lindsay Buckingham's song Never Going Back Again. Also, her vocal slides are SO SO GOOD!! Thank you Beth for introducing me to Maureen. She is indeed phenomenal!

She has a clip on youtube playing (and singing) Police Dog Blues (more complex than Candyman) when she was 13! I think that was spotted and led to deal to record her album.

Good call. ‘Never Going Back Again’ is brutal to play. Easy to fake it in Open C, I believe. The correct rhythm and in dropped D - I’ll never get it.

I music lover I was told by my wife who had returned from a family visit in the west of Ireland just before Christmas, to told me to watch out this young lady Muireann Bradley, the first I saw her was playing and singing was on the Jools Holland New Eves show, several times during her spot I heard the people at the show cheer as she played, that is a very rare happening. Last night a spent some time trying to locate some videos of Muireann Bradley and found several also her new album, the more I listen the more I came to realise what a most brilliant musician she is. She is very real and natural, I would say that Muireann is the new queen of acoustic blues playing, Rory Gallagher was very similar in the way he played and talked about those old blues masters

She's from a village that's only a few miles from Rory G's birthplace.

Her timing and tempo is spot that you could set a metronome by it.

That was wonderful! Thank you so much for bringing her to my attention, Beth. Not only is she a great singer, but she's a very talented guitarist as well. It's so nice to see a young prodigy who not only isn't a technician, but is playing some old school acoustic blues. Such a breath of fresh air. I already have her album loaded up in Spotify and will be listening to it as soon as I finish typing this.

Her sound and style is just simply hypnotic. WHAT a talent! ❤

Wow! She's amazing! Sounds almost American Southern. Which makes sense considering the blues style. Loved this! Thank you Beth!

Absolutely love this.. She's amazing.. The way she cuts the words short sometimes to put a really sweet guitar lick in there really keeps it interesting too. Very talented, I've been a fingerstyle player for a long time, I wish I had it down as well as her. Thanks for the vid.

Love her voice...expected her to start yodeling but the songs she picks are true, old delta blues right out of Mississippi and the south. She does a great rendition of When the Levee Breaks...the original... and it's great! This whole genre of music is reaching a new generation of young people and that's a blessing for special segments of music. ❤ Nice pick!

She sounds much more American traditional, old school country style to me. I would've never guessed she's Irish. Amazing. She's so good.

Bluegrass and country developed in large part from Irish styles. And country blues had a lot of crossover with those musics. Most of the blues singers in the 20s and 30s played various styles of music but they weren’t recorded because record labels already had those songs and wanted the blues songs specifically.

2 ай бұрын

Try listening to some other songs by her.

The combination of the vocals and picking results in an amazing performance. Especially when you consider that she's just seventeen. What a fantastic talent, and she's bringing those old, in some cases almost forgotten, wonderful blues songs to a new and I hope appreciative audience. B

Yodelling actually got started in the Swiss Alps and Appalachian Mountains as a means of communication between neighbors.

This girl is absolutely amazing. What a whiz! 😎

She filling the shoes of the Rev, quite well indeed

"I wish I was I New Orleans" - just listening to wee Muireann play! Girl, you look like you're having so much fun; and when you smile you light up the stage like a spotlight! Keep doing exactly what you're doing young Muirrie... You're going faaaar! And Beth; great appreciation and analysis of her performance. You look like you could be sisters! :)

I'm so glad you did this video. One slight correction though, her name is Muireann, not Maureen.

Pronounced Murrin.

She opened for Adrianne Lenker (someone else yall would like on this channel) recently on a livestreamed show and it blew me away.

A great dad introduced her to guitar and old blues masters

I know there’s a German tradition of yodelling, but I’ve often been struck by how many Irish singers incorporate it into their style. Two that come to mind are Bono (who used to do it a lot more in U2’s early work - see the line “in a Memphis sky” in “Pride in the Name of love”, where the word “sky” is crisply yodelled) and the singer in the Cranberries, for whom it was the most distinctive part of her singing.

I grew up listening to the old 78 rpm records. She sounds like those old recordings while singing through modern PA equipment. It is uncanny and marvelous, just need the scratchy record sound behind her.

This was fun. I love Jools Holland and he brings lots of great music to his show.

Yes she is brilliant. the great Jools Holland, he is the man who has brought new excellent musicians to the front and gave them a great start, if was not for this show also the great BBC are the only ones helping to spread good music to the people

I discovered a lot of artists I didn’t know thank to Jools and his show. Raul Midon and KT Tunstall. Watching Glen Campbell performing a Foo Fighters song was great. His Alzheimer’s was starting to affect him and seeing him was a treat.

I’ve literally watch this performance 50 times…just a genius

She is just incredible😊

Unreal performance and voice. Was blown away with her talent.

That nasality is pure American Appalachian singing. Dunno whether it's natural to her or acquired, but she nails Appalachian singing. She could be from western North Carolina.

Natural because she has been listening to this music her whole short life so far. So it’s coming out completely organically from her sheer love of the music

I love Mississippi John hurts version of this song Beth you should give it a listen

Love this

She's a devastating talent. It's like she's been beamed through time to the present.

first of all, she's got great finger style technique, a dying art. Glad she's keeping the delta blues, ragtime style of finger picking alive

Absolutely blows my mind how American roots music seems to be bigger in the UK & some of Europe than here in the US. Absolutely no way any late night show here would have someone singing & playing some Rev Gary Davis or Blind Blake.

She's going to be a star.

Very nice work as always. Please consider the group Lawrence. The acoustic-ish version of Don’t Lose Sight maybe. It’s a brother and sister who I think are awesome vocalists for very different reasons. At any rate.. keep doing what you’re doing. We ❤ you 😊

Wonderful and GOOOOOOOOggggggle Piedmont Blues for more info on the style of playing............................

And btw it’s “Muireann”!!!

Speaking of accents have you heard her speak in that wild West of Ireland Donegal accent so sweet and actually not to changed form her singing voice.IMO.

Check out her version of When the Levee Breaks. So good......

From Derry, just down the road from here. And this was also the first time I'd seen her. Incredible. I've seen comparisons with Lindsey Buckingham in the comments - which I've made myself. But I also hear a lot of John Prine in her style.

Why can't people keep quiet about this marvellous talent in our midst? We do not want or need these charlatans talking about how good she is, we can see for ourselves! These people get right up my nose, they couldn't tie her shoelaces!

Thanks, Beth. Great player and singer.

I don't know who is doing your graphics and editing now, but they are amazing. The last time teenagers in the UK and Ireland got interested in the Blues things turned out really well. Fingers crossed for this time.

Has the music been on a return journey, IRELAND &SCOTLAND TO AMERICA AND CANADA (Newfoundland) SOME HAS COME HOME. THE AMERICAN INDIAN DIDN'T PLAY FIDDLE AND SING IN GAELIC AND ENGLISH.

I think you would like some swamp funk, some ShinyRibs - Song Of Lime Juice and Despair (live, possibly) he also yodels a bit. Perhaps some Demon Kitty Rag by Katzenjammer? Love hearing the soft explanations while you're in awe of the performer. So many people just want the video to be about them, I feel you complement things nicely :) You're a joy to watch / listen to.

She's singing with an accent she doesn't have. Thats how the originators of this music talked and how we still talk in the American south. Since she isn't from here we assume she's mimicking how she heard it and does a great job.

The southern accent in large part came from Irish settlers from the province of Ulster. That’s where she’s from. Some of the southern twang is completely natural to her own speaking voice.

Not a lot of people know that the hillbillies got their name from Scot’s Irish immigrants who migrated to America avoiding religious persecution most of the men were called billy which is a shortened version of William this young lady comes from Ulster the home of this music.

I am a guitarist. About 25 years ago, I first heard some Rev Gary Davis songs and learned to play a couple on the guitar. But let me say that this girl is a way better guitarist than I am. Her singing voice is also absolutely lovely. Her playing though is really really good. Her musicality is top tier. Even among professional sessions guitarist, she would be considered to be a very strong guitar player.

I love her guitar and her voice. And she's cute as a button 🔘

So surprised by this. Am Irish girl playing southern blues and to me it sounds like bluegrass

Beth, I hope you could react to Lost Horizon - Highlander. A professional opinion about it is mandatory 😅

awllll RIIIIIIIIIGHT! Yes, Maureen is doing a damn faithful interpretation without doubt, but I'd also like to introduce you to the man who probably did more'n anyone to introduce the Rev. Gary to society: the glorious Dave van Ronk. Dave was one of the fixtures and centre-posts around which the early-Sixties New York folk scene revolved. Hell, BOB fucking DYLAN credits Dave as an influence! And Dave was one of the best-known students of the Rev, and could go the deepest into how the man played. I've managed to dig up a couple of YT pieces that I feel best represent what Dave did with this song, one a studio recording from 1964 and another a club gig from 1985, when he was still at the top of his game. I offer 'em both here. 1964 in the studio: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aap_1aqqg9yykaw.htmlsi=kN6SvxqgmJd9vsds 1985 live: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iYGK18iSZpbSpJM.htmlsi=FfuGBglzJJFU6roj&t=2192

Lots of guys studied with Davis because of the happy accident that he came to NYC. The late Woody Mann recorded lots of their lessons, and he does a beautiful arrangement of “Delia,” available on KZread. He was a far more advanced player than Dave, but Dave’s influence was much broader, thanks to the folkies in Greenwich Village. I took a couple of lessons from him and from Mann, and both were as nice as can be.

Can you do this the cover of Yannis Papadopoulos for Nightwish - Ghost Love Score?

She's appears to be attempting an American accent on this song. I've heard other songs by her and she does have an Irish accent when she sings naturally. If this song is not considered age-appropriate, I'd prefer she find another song rather than change the lyrics. She has undoubted talent though.

Yes, we can hear her. Obviously the old 1920's blues men and women in the deep South underwent serious regular singing, vocal and fluency training to sound like that! Would you not be better singing a song than championing the obvious?

Seriously the amount of people jumping in on Muireann's great talent is disturbing. You don't need to explain this natural talent to anyone. She is a genuine blues guitarist and vocalist. Let her music speak for itself.

The moment I heard her Police Dog Blues, I knew this was going to happen. She is a genuine phenomenon, and people were bound to jump on her bandwagon. But she is grounded by her father, a fanatic and a player who exposed this music to his daughter and everything came up aces. It’ll be cool to see where she goes from here. This analysis … eh.

@@haroldsteinblatt2567 100% correct. Her father is such a cool level headed man and she has his temperament and most importantly his love of the blues. Muireann has sparked a huge interest in the genre. It's like a rebirth of all these classic songs with her own individual style. It's magical. I'm a bit harsh on people jumping on the bandwagon but it's a bit annoying. Like you I look forward to the next part of Muireann's career with great anticipation.

You’re quite right. Muireann doesn’t seem to exert a great deal of effort or apply vocal technique. She just bounces along and makes you feel happy. The most appealing part is how natural and at ease she is. A professional vocal coach doesn’t need to analyze God given talent but I liked how she is enjoying the song.
