Mumblin Deaf Ro'
Listen to his song 'The Ballad of Lonesome Ray James'
Mumblin' Deaf Ro is a Dublin based fingerpicker popster. Musically
speaking he cut his teeth in a variety of unpopular, critically unacclaimed bands
on the college scene; usually with more names than songs.
In
2000 he began studying the finger-picking blues stylings of Rev. Gary Davis & Mississippi
John Hurt. Mixing these with a love for the abstract lyrics and song structures
of Captain Beefheart and Van Dyke Parks the result is a strong melody based fingerpop.
These arrangements were fleshed our with his some-time collaborators 'The Critters'
with who he has played in Whelan's, Eamon Doran's as well as his own solo shows
in the Temple Bar Music Centre, Voodoo Lounge and the 'Ruby Sessions; in Doyle's.
The track featured here is from Ro's debut album 'Senor, My Friend...' which is
pencilled in for independent release on 21 February 2003. Firmly of the view that
not all solo artists are singer-songwriters, the new songs were recorded on the
best modern digital electrical equipment. When asked for a description he explained
that it was 'mostly zeros and ones'.
