Nigel Mooney, blues guitarist, tunesmith, great wit, and one of the coolest men in Ireland, is about to release a new album. Mooney’s Blues brings together several threads from his forty-year musical journey, a confluence of the Liffey and the Mississippi, featuring many international and local musicians and friends. The original compositions and stunning virtuosity ensure Nigel a place in Irish jazz and blues guitar history, alongside Rory Gallagher and Louis Stewart. It’s my album of the week on Vespertine.
