Having such a talent and the sweet voice with a unique style, Joe Heaney, one of the most great Irish traditional singers of all ages , manages him to be the pioneer of the Irish music. He symbolizes in his songs fables, myth, and his early life in the west of Ireland. He challenges many things in order to have his chance and achieving success.
The director and co-writer Pat Collins does a superb job with this strange biopic of Joe Heaney, a sean n贸s singer who became a big name in American folk music.
There's a unifying purpose to this seemingly scattered approach, underlining the essential unknowability of a retiring figure who left principally his art as evidence of a jagged, unstable life.
The biographical details are of far less interest to Collins than the music, and the film will be a particular delight to lovers of Irish folk music, with its keening textures and melancholic tones.
