"THE BORDER OF HEAVEN"
Taylor Park Music
As Connie Dover says, this, her fourth solo album, is probably the most acoustic of all. It was even recorded onto tape, an analogic format that offers a warmth of sound that digital technology sometimes doesn't show. And it is a good idea because in The Border of Heaven, she explores the deep connections between Celtic music and the American folk, a common territory where traditional melodies and instruments are heard showing a special enchantment. Dover, born in Arkansas, firmly believes that traditional American music, like cowboy songs, has very old Celtic roots. The album, then, contains a magnificent selection of 12 traditional American folk songs, British ballads, etc., all produced by Phil Cunningham. Connie sings, of course, and Cunningham plays piano, accordion, keyboards, penny whistles and guitar. Other top musicians appear in this album: Russ Barenburg, Bob Burns, John Catchings, Jonny Cunningham, Jerry Douglas, Craig Duncan, Skip Gorman, John Hartford, Roger Landes, Paddy League, Zan McLeod, Jerry O'Sullivan, Dave Pomeroy and Arthur Shortbull, people from both sides of the Atlantic. Good traditional music, an angelic voice and a perfect sound.
