Although she'd been active as one-third of the brilliant
Trian
, Chicago-born Celtic fiddler
Liz Carroll
hadn't recorded a solo album since 1988 until she released
Lost in the Loop
in 2000. Predictably, it's a showcase for her fabulous fiddle playing, but her backing musicians are high-caliber as well:
Carroll
is joined by guests like her
bandmate
Daithi Sproule
(of
Altan
) and members of
Solas
. It's a welcome return, and one that makes clear the reason Chicago mayor
Richard Daley
declared "
Day" following her festival performance there. ~ Steve Huey
