The path of stones

"Irish music maven John Doyle plays guitar in a refined and decorous manner, even when laying down a jig or reel. There's something courteous and genteel about the whole affair".

"Excellent musicianship and songwriting from the Irishman: A member of Solas, Usher's Well and the crack trio of McCusker, McGoldrick and Doyle, as well as an assured musical partner to the likes of Martin Hayes, Mary Black, Linda Thompson, Joan Baez and many more, John Doyle releases his third solo album for Compass Records ... McCusker and Goldrick are guests on the album, as is Dervish's Cathy Jordan and old-time musician Rick Epping and fiddler and cellist Duncan Wickel ... Throughout, Doyle's instrumental dexterity, the signature of his touch on guitars, fiddle, keys, bouzouki, harmonium and vocals, ensures the sure footing on The Path of Stones is his alone".
