Episode Sorrow and songwriting: Irish musician Inni-K, and Joe Camilleri's The Black Sorrows
Inni-K, the alias of singer songwriter Eithne Ní Chatháin, blends Ireland's rich music traditions with her own playful compositional voice. Her new album Still A Day deviates from the traditional material she's focused on in the past, and these original songs are sung in English and Gaelic, with her voice and fiddle at the centre.
Touring relentlessly and releasing music since the early 1980s, Joe Camilleri and The Black Sorrows are taking stock with a new album of ‘quintessential songs’ that celebrate their four decade contribution to Australian music.
Part of the band’s success is down to embracing eclectic musical styles. You’ll find jazz, blues, rock, zydeco and pop on this album. The Sorrows have also welcomed a rotating cast of musicians over the years—people like Vika & Linda Bull, Paul Grabowsky, Michael Barker and George Butrumlis. Joe speaks to Andrew about longevity, singing with his saxophone, and how he never knows when something’s going to be a hit.
Plus, music from the border of Iran and Afghanistan, from Badieh. They'll be on The Music Show next week.
