McCarthyizm
Published:April 22, 2011, 12:00 AM
Who?: Joe McCarthy (right), vocals, guitar; Paul Ceppaglia, guitar; Dave Mucha, bass; Helen Butler, fiddle, cello; Joe Suplicki, drums; Nate Schneekloth, keys; Dee Adams, vocals; Jim Bohm, trumpet; Jim Runfola, saxophone; and David Moore, uillean pipes, accordion, tin whistle.
What?: Buffalo’s long-tenured kings of singer/songwriter-meets-Celtic rock.
What’s new?: The band has released its finest collection of songs to date, “Victors and Vices.” (See www.mccarthyizm.com .)
Why?: The new album—smartly produced by Ceppaglia with the help of engineers Marc Hunt at Chameleon Studios and Paul Weisenburger at the Pickle Patch— perfectly captures the roughshod beauty of a McCarthyizm concert. The addition of the Bohm/Runfola horn section, Jackdaw’s Moore, and Adams’ sonorous harmony vocals add supple flesh to the skeleton of Mc- Carthy’s lyrics. Rowdy, smart and memorable.
