Album Description
Available in:
"Cara Dillon" is the debut solo album from the Irish folk artist Cara Dillon, released in 2001 on the Rough Trade label. It was recorded at The Firs, Sam Lakeman's parents' house. There were also recordings made in County Donegal, Ireland. The album was mixed by John Reynolds. It contained nine traditional songs Dillon had known since her schooldays and also had two original songs "Blue Mountain River" (which was released to radio in Ireland) and "I Wish I Was". The album was released to critical acclaim, earning Dillon four BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards nominations, two of which she won, a Hot Press Irish Music Award and charting in the top 10 of several music critics polls, including HMV Choice Reader's Poll. The opening track of the album, Black Is the Colour, won Best Traditional Track at the BBC Folk Awards and has proved to be her most widely acclaimed song to date, experiencing a revival in 2006 in the form of a successful trance remix single by Derry based DJs 2Devine. Throughout 2001 and 2002, Dillon toured the album in the UK, Ireland and Europe, and several dates with WOMAD took her to New Zealand and Australia.
