Days In Italy

Burns Sisters member Annie Burns does not stray far from the family group of which she is an integral part.  

Nevertheless, it's Annie Burns herself who shines on the album, its folk-rock songs ranging from the title track, a reminiscence about a never-taken trip with a friend who died young, to the country-styled "God Made Woman," a feminist honky tonk tune.

This basic band -- consisting of guitarists Jim Kimball, Larry Campbell, and Marc Shulman; bassist Tony Garnier (whose day job is working with Bob Dylan); and drummer Shawn Pelton -- is augmented here and there by other players, among them electric guitarist G.E. Smith. 

Burns has an expressive voice that can be gentle or bluesy, depending on the demands of the songs, but that always has a plaintive tone, which is appropriate to the often melancholy sentiments being expressed in the lyrics.

About

Annie Burns creates uplifting, transcendent music filled with warmth and conviction. She first came to wider attention as a member of The Burns Sisters and has also built a rich career as a solo artist. The Burns Sisters recorded for Columbia and Rounder Records and have released many albums, with their music available on Amazon and other major platforms. They toured with Arlo Guthrie for five years, and Annie and her sister Marie recorded a Celtic album and toured Ireland annually. Annie continues to perform with The Burns Sisters, has three solo recordings to her name, and produces both her own music and projects for other artists.

These days, Annie is performing with longtime collaborator Doug Robinson and the gifted guitarist Harry Aceto. Doug is a multi-instrumentalist who has toured with Martin Simpson and, in Ithaca, plays with Djug Django. Harry also plays with Djug Django and has toured with Jay Ungar, Molly Mason, and the Gordon Webster Swing Band. Together, their band leans into jazzy, folk‑rooted, torchy songs, and they are looking forward to a full season of shows this summer, sharing soulful music with audiences near and far.
