WHEN I play on my fiddle in Dooney Folk dance like a wave of the sea My cousin is priest in Kilvarnet My brother in Moharabuiee I passed my brother and cousin While they read in their books of prayer I read in my book of songs That I bought at the Sligo fair When we come at the end of time To Peter sitting in state He will smile on the three old spirits But call me first through the gates For the good are always the merry Save by an evil chance And the merry love the fiddle And the merry love to dance And when the folks there spy me They will all come up to me With ‘Here is the fiddler of Dooney! And dance like the wave of the sea

Just a little lovin' will go a long way And you'll make me happy all the rest of my days Put your arms around me then I'll be your slave Just a little lovin’s all that I crave Now, ever since he dawn of time love has ruled the world Even Adam and his gal set the world a twirl I met you and now I know that you're the one for me Come on home and you will plainly see That just a little lovin' will go a long way And you'll make me happy all the rest of my days Put your arms around me then I'll be your slave Just a little lovin’s all that I crave I don't believe you really know just how much I love you If you did you'd come on home and make my dreams come true Your eyes, your lips, your tender kisses seem to linger yet I'll forgive but I won’t forget Just a little lovin' will go a long way And you'll make me happy all the rest of my days Put your arms around me then I'll be your slave Just a little lovin’s all that I crave Just a little lovin’

about

Mr. Sun brings together four of the most virtuosic musicians in acoustic music. Led by Darol Anger, an iconic fiddler and founding father of new acoustic music, the four musicians in the band span three generations and offer some of the most jaw-dropping instrumental prowess to be found in any genre. Their sophomore release EXTROVERT picks up where their much-lauded debut left off, exploring the grooves and melodies that exist at the intersection of bluegrass, jazz and swing. In spite of their technical chops, Mr. Sun never loses sight of the light-hearted, musical playfulness that has made them a must-see act on the roots music scene.

EXTROVERT opens with the funky, blues-inflected “Tamp ‘Em Up Solid,“ which offers a tongue-in-cheek tip of the hat to the classic “Muleskinner Blues,” and which features mandolinist Joe Walsh on lead vocals. Anger offers a sweet reimagining of Lennon and McCartney’s “Blackbird,” and guitarist Grant Gordy and newest member, bassist Aidan O’Donnell, get a chance to stretch on the angular “A Real Dragon.” The swinging “Just a Little Loving” gives each soloist a chance to play the perfect instrumental foil to Anger’s fiddlistic flights of fancy and the Anger original “Breaker’s Breakdown” showcases the quartet’s mastery of the fiddle tune tradition. At the end of the day, more than the chops and instrumental prowess on display, it’s the pure joy emanating from Mr. Sun’s music that will keep EXTROVERT on repeat.
