The Chieftains
"tears of stone"
 

Try to imagine an unusual and warm evening, Saturday, Dec.5th 1998 to be precise, at the Dublin Castle-Dublin-, mysterious in the feeble light of its oil-lamps. ,Add a hundred of journalists coming from all over Europe, gallons of foamy Guinness, white wines and champagne coming directly from Italy.

Now garnish these "yummy" ingredients with the Chieftieans and their extraordinary guests- the Corrs and the vocal ensamble Anuna- all invited to celebrate the event. All this is spontaneously melted with the well-known Irish unforeseeableness, and with an unmeasurable passion and a timeless and placeless joy of living.We will have, then, the leit-motiv of an unrepeteable concert, wonderfully projected to introduce a very tight circle of friends to the new Paddy Moloney's album: "Tears of Stone" (Rca,Victor), which is going to be released worldwide at the same time at the end of January '99. It's almost no use to stop over the Dublin Castle wonderful appointment, which probably would be witnessed by a home viedo. It's better to catch the opportunity to talk with Alexander, who's in the bar of his hotel.; he's the "old" Paddy Moloney- 62 years carried with such incredible enthusiasm- and we grab some information about his new adventure with his old companions. This is the nth time he works with them, since that far 1967 when the Chieftians were moving their first steps....

"So, Mr. Moloney, first of all, let's try to understand the meaning of your last album's title".

"Of course. To realize "Santiago", the previous record, I had invited a wonderful bag-pipe player whose name was Carlos Nunez. Well, in an old Nunez record (don't ask me which one was it because I can't remember.. you know, it's the age..!) there was a wonderful Spanish song called just "Tears of stone". I thought it would fit perfectly what I was up to."

"And what were you up to, by chance?"

"A new album, of course, all focused on love, and its several meanings and ways, from joy to sadness, from passion to hate, from mystic ecstasis to the hell of senses. Everything, from a to z. I meant it being interpreted by lady-vocalists because I think that women's interpretative talent is something huge and massive and it could be easily spread all over the world. I have been working constantly for three years on this project, and the result is close to everyone's ear, now..."

" Let's get back to the vocalists, if you don't mind. Glancing rapidliy at your guest-list, I have the feeling to be facing a Gotha of female vocalism: Bonnie Raitt and Nathalie Merchant, Joni Mitchell and the three Corrs sisters, Sinead O'Connor and Mary Carpenter, Loreena McKennitt and Akiko Yano, Sissel and Joan Osborne, the Auna Ensamble and Diana Krall... it's amazing!"

"Yes, it is. And the copy of the album you have doesn't include Dadawa, the great singer from Singapore who apperars in the "Tears of stone" version destined to Japan. I like Dadawa so much that I realized a special kind of music just for her, let's call it "Chino-Irish" that she improved with an absolutely extraordinary poetic sensibility. The song is "Tears lake" and talks about a young man who sing his faraway love with such a struggle of emotions that his tears drop from his eyes to the ground and form a lake."

"Very touching. Tell me something about the other singers: Joni Mitchell, for instance."

"Oh, dear Joni. I met her for the first time when I was in Japan, where we did a great performace in a wonderful abbey. There was Bob Dylan, either! Joni... that time she performed a song, "Magdalein Laundries" who talked about a laundry-owner convent and the general feeling (among prostitutes, orphans, teen-mothers and depraved girls) was a devastating sadness: a true desperation and despair.

To be honest, I didn't like that song a grat deal, but she kept saying " I feel like a sort of religious feeling in it, which can do good to the love-based album you're working at". So, I wanted to please her, and I rearranged the harmonies in order to have them the way they are now. I have to admit I did really like what came out."

" What about Diana Krall?"

"Before working with her, I didn't really know who she was. Actually I was planning to ask Aretha Franklin to join us; but, you know, it's so hard to get in contact with her! Then someone introduced me to Diana Krall and as soon as I 've listened to her tapes, I've felt breathless and amazed. There's something about her, she's a wonderful singer, the new Sarah Vaughan! Then I understood that her voice was exactly what I was looking for, a sort of Irish-Gospel with jubilee-like choruses embellished by pyrotecnic "flights" of our Sean Keane's violin. Cool, isn't it?"

"Absolutely. But in my opinion "Sake in the Jar"- Akiko Yano's song- is very particular as well."

"Yes, you're right. Akiko- she's a smashing interpreter, able to build a bridge between East and West with the only power of her voice. I remember when we first met in Okinawa with all those dancers and singers and every kind of musical instruments which transformed the real world in a small multimedia village! It was a big time-experience and I believe you can feel this atmosphere when listening to "Sake in the jar".

That song might seem a little "ethylic"- you know well that the Japanese drink Sake as much as the Irish drink whiskey- but in the end it talks about love from the very beginning till last world. Cheers!"
