Muireann Bradley - Frankie (Live at Moth Club, Hackney, London)

[@nicbarry9142]

Great performance. Bought this album the other day. Intending just for myself really. I put it on during the school run with no preamble. Green Green Rocky Road comes on and my energetic 6 year old son in the back seat goes unusually quiet. 15 seconds in and he says "This is a really nice song." Then a little later, "It's a great song for a sunny day." He was singing it all down the street! Even asked for it to go on his playlist! The whole family are enjoying the album. It is so bright and wonderfully performed yet manages to bring a peaceful uncomplicated few moments to our hectic daily life.

[@MuireannBradley]

Thank you so much for supporting what I do by buying my little album. I’m so happy your family are all enjoying it. I have to say this is the nicest comment I’ve ever received on KZbin, I’m still smiling typing this. Your son is right Green Green Rocky Road is indeed a great song for a sunny day 🌞 ❤️

[@Ernwaldo]

And just like that, another generation of fans begins their musical journey. Fantastic!

[@nicbarry9142]

@@MuireannBradley😊 Glad to send some sunshine back the other way! He was chuffed you agree with him about the song. He wants to learn to play guitar anyway and was happy to know you played when you were young. My 10 year old on the other hand is trying to learn all the lyrics, so you have a little junior fan club up and running!

[@thaenuwar1732]

A beautiful young girl, voice like an angel and a stunning guitar playing ability. Emotional experience to watch and listen to.

[@daviemcf]

The finest picking and singing I ever did see.....a fantastic performance Muireann. 🎸🎸

[@bengtbergstrom6103]

Can't get enough of her.

[@burtbloom4794]

The River Finn meets the Mississippi Delta. Much more than channeling Mississippi John Hurt, Muireann adds her own special lilting brilliance to both the instrumental and vocal aspects of Hurt's recordings. It is simply incredible that someone her age is able to demonstrate such a level of proficiency, maturity and total understanding of musical context. Another absolute gem from this wonderfully talented young lady.

[@mikerobinson579]

I've been listening to this type of music for 5+ decades and you're right up there with the best. Thanks for sharing your gift.

[@X-hoshaq-X]

Will see you playing in the U.S. someday 👏🙏🏻

[@kennethtoop2022]

Simply wonderful!

[@jimmymullen7825]

Class stuff Muireann.............some class pickin' too............best wishes from Tyrone..........

[@peterday6228]

A fabulous talent keeping blues alive. I've just bought her cd which is full of great songs.

[@stratovation1474]

Captures the spirit and style of these amazing songs in a fresh new way. Talent! Music I discovered in the late 1960s. There is a link between these songs and the culture of Ireland I believe.

[@HollowayIP]

I am still amazed at how such beautiful songs, and there were many from that time period, that depicted the not so beautiful custom of dealing harshly with love ones who violated the marriage vows. It really, actually was a part of the culture and the law was in step with it, found it justified. Those beliefs, though, no longer exist in the culture, thank goodness, but we are glad that the beautiful songs have survived, thanks now to this wonderful talent.

[@Ernwaldo]

Thank you. I am thoroughly enjoying these performances you’re posting & imagining the thrill of those in attendance. Please keep playing as long as you love to entertain us. 👏🏻🙂

[@steviegaga]

I’m just in awe of your finger style chops and vocal intonation! You have much joy in your future. Thanks SO much!

[@SonofFreda]

Timeless!!

[@craiglightowler8922]

You my young lady are unique! If you look at music history, it's the unique sounding artists who stay around forever. ❤

[@garymelnyk7910]

Tears! We wish you well on your long journey.

[@paul-wg4ts]

never stop

[@PaisleyPatchouli]

Smmmmookin! I think you're getting better Muireann! Vocals are getting looser (in a good way) and more expressive, while the picking is getting tighter, more 'authoritative'; and on top of all that you appear to be more relaxed AND having a good time with it. Perfect progress all around!

[@eamonncoady9823]

well said paisley, i noticed something but couldnt put my finger on it. well said youre spot n the mark there.

[@mariedevereux2959]

Super talent I love her .Brilliant Muireann ❤❤

Y'know for 4:31mins i was magically transported back home somehow... amazing talent, truly amazing! Peace.

You have blessed dublin my dear..your up there with all the greats Rory is smiling down on you ..

[@giannibiancocircus]

You sing to my heart ✌️❤️

[@johnanthonygonzales8714]

God has granted us the beautiful blessings of this wonderful talent. May she live long and continue to prosper on this musical path.

[@barryharrison2441]

This young lady is great. She must have learned about this music from her dad. A shout out from Canada.

[@benswanson744]

Aye your on it there, interviews say her father was a very good guitar player as well and young Muireann said she just loved the old school type blues that her father played.

[@jimiplayscobo5877]

I believe it was her Father. Hi from Ontario.

[@BassByTheBay]

Yes, it was her father. She has said in multiple interviews that she grew up hearing him play these recordings over and over.

[@williamabbey9627]

Love your talent, and I appreciate your playing the music (so amazingly) from the Mississippi Delta. Thank you, Muireann, and I wish you continued success in the future.

[@ceejay1794]

Your an amazing artist Muireann❤

[@clyderichardson6475]

What a future lies before her!

[@haroldsteinblatt2567]

That's 3 Waterloos, all sound great in her hands.

[@franksabatino7576]

Thanks Muireann. I'm imagining Mississippi John in Beulah Land listening and smiling.🌞

[@jonhughes7264]

So good. Picking flawless. Great voice.

[@TheCastellowsLive]

Wonderful Muireann!!! Your playing and singing are a breath of fresh air ❤

[@jamescassidy5852]

You'r getting better and better, hope to hear some new(old) songs soon if you can find time. Thanks Muireann.

Muireann just home from your show in Dolans tonight it's a long time since I enjoyed a night as good as you were on stage hope you come back to the venue to entertain us again next time you will fill the Warehouse or an even bigger venue.Next time I hope that you may include some of Rory Gallagher acousic blues like Pistol Slapper Blues or some of his other great acoustic covers Thanks for a wonderful Night

[@meots]

Superb!

[@peterburke3035]

A classic performance of a classic blues song. Thank you Muireann.❤❤❤

[@anneberkeley7411]

Amazing attack on that wonderful Waterloo guitar.

Whats left to say!! brilliant.

[@terrydavis5915]

This is such a treat. I'm not saying "don't write" but if this is what you did it would be invaluable.

[@rogerthomas9561]

Great sound and pickin ..... you ever cover "crossing muddy waters" ? it is your style for sure, down home blues

[@zimmee]

Brilliant version Muirean, I've never heard those words. I know it's an old song but I do the Bob Dylan version. Great picking and singing. I feel so proud of you. I'm originally from outside Dungloe. 🤗🎼

[@johnford7847]

Amazing performance! Thank you for sharing.

[@revsolution]

Very nice! I learned it as Frankie and Johnny. Same troubles and outcome.

Oh yes, so good!

[@terrysmith-z4l]

Speechless !!!!

[@dwoodinnyc]

Great job Muireann! Can’t wait to watch you grow. Reminds me of old Jimmy Rodgers…

[@dwoodinnyc]

Hobos Meditation is my favorite song of all time. Especially the Merle Haggard version on same train different time (which is my favorite album by the way). I would love to hear you do a version of that one day!

[@jimiplayscobo5877]

It appears this song has two names Frankie and Frankie and Albert not sure why? Either way you nailed it big time :-) Peace

[@contrapposto8389]

This is excellent. Keep up the good work!

Great job !!

[@jessewintersteen4740]

I once knew a MAN named Bill Morrissey who played this song. Your tempo and vocals make this song yours.

[@MuireannBradley]

This arrangement of Frankie owes a lot to an amazing guitarist from Philadelphia named Ari Eisinger, I have added quite a bit of complexity to it but this is essentially his arrangement. He really deserves his dues but I don’t think he plays any more,

[@kaaskop7451]

[@ShiroiNihonjin]

The violence in these old songs is so funny. I like how at the end of In the Jailhouse Now, Blind Blake suddenly makes it "she's in a graveyard now", like it's nothing.

[@mjw12345]

That's why is such fun a sweet young lady from Irish-speaking Donegal performing it. BTW, She's only a few miles away from the birthplace of Rory Gallagher, Ireland's, one of the world's greatest Bluesmen!

[@Jason-zq4jv]

The name for your kind of blues is Ragtime Blues
