"With
Celtic Credentials, Sully has resolved the history of the banjo in one
breath-taking album.
The
idea is quite simple: take the Irish "traditional" melody, then add
the old jazzers' approach to chord accompaniment, what you get is Donal Lunny
meets Barney McKenna - with a bit of Swing and lots of humour. Sully is no
slouch in the creative department either, 10 of the 14 tracks are original
compositions...his playing is full of drive, fast without being hurried, and
his use of chord progressions is often sensational. The book is aimed at the
intermediate to advanced player...the notation is easy to read...there are
plenty of interesting chords... and many of the tunes use the full length of
the neck. If you can play these tunes as written you will look really
flash." Irish Music magazine, Dublin
