Cara Dillon

Cara Dillon’s new album Hill of Thieves is superb!

I loved her first album, released in 2001, but I have to say I kinda lost touch after that. This new album is a return to a “traditional” style. But it’s not the style of music that grabs you, it’s the voice. It’s the voice and the arrangement and partnership with husband, Sam Lakeman.

After interviewing Cara for Celtic Music Radio, I had the opportunity to see her perform at Celtic Connections. Several songs were performed with just piano and voice.

Sam, apparently, does not like a mic on stage and interviews, but he sure does talk elequently through the piano.
