CD - "Existential Crisis," from Irish musician Herb Dee... 10 songs about the bone, fragile and indomitable. Enjoy! Twenty years ago, Herb Dee fronted a band called Bullit and was the token Dubliner in what was ostensibly a Mullingar band and the brainchild of Eddie Reynolds. They had three albums and played Ireland and the UK for a few years before young family took centre stage.During the 2020 lockdown, Herb returned to the guitar and the pen for sanity. Now, after 11 albums and multiple singles in that time, he is trying to entice audiences out of the gridlock that is the modern social media climate, with hour and a half sets of acoustic commentary and poetry put to music.Sonically, Herb is now closer to Christy Moore on the spectrum than the raucous rock of Bullit, but the words are no less hard hitting and the music is no less out of place.He has notched up a few accolades along the way, including ‘Album of the Week’ on a French radio station and a sold out show in January at one of the Dublin Whelan’s stages.
