Fourmilehouse Artist: Alan and John Kelly Label: Compass Records Length: 12 tracks / 47:31 Brothers Alan (piano accordion) and John Kelly (flute and whistle) deliver an energetic yet smooth assortment of Celtic music in Fourmilehouse. After listening to it, I feel like I’ve just gotten a massage. The Kellys run to and fro across delightful notes working deep into those happy places in your mind. Their 12 tracks cover the gambit of emotive responses one expects from Celtic music, but even more impressively, they do it consistently within the sub-style of reels and jigs. While the Kellys provide the base instrumentals, guitars, pianos and other instruments make their appearances on selected tracks. The pace lets off to a relaxing slow reel on the sixth track, but play it on fast-forward and you can see they’re still in form. It’s difficult to say exactly what’s different song to song—-but they are reels and jigs, they each have a character of their own, and they each are imminently enjoyable. There’s not a fully instrumental Celtic album I recommend more highly than Fourmilehouse. Dan Singleton 9/25/02
