Rocktopia CD review: Bat Kinane - 'A Lifetime To Kill'

A Fireworks Magazine / Rocktopia album review by Steven Reid: Best known for his guitar playing and song writing with the criminally under rated Irish rockers Glyder, and hot on the heels of their excellent 'Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow' album, comes Bat Kinane's first solo album, 'A Lifetime To Kill'. Like all interesting solo albums, what this release does is illustrate a different and pleasantly unexpected side to Kinane that his main band only hint at. Always one for baring his heart in his lyrics, that process goes even further on these stripped down, bluesy, folky, country and in some places slightly Americana influenced songs that see Kinane write about life, love, inspiration and the frustrations of trying to earn a living from his music. http://ping.fm/2Ho0Q
