Let's Start Again

2014 release, the sixth solo album from the former Energy Orchard mainman. While Bap usually records in England and America, this time he wanted to bring together some of the top musicians in his native Northern Ireland to play on Let's Start Again. The most local of the local talents is bass player and harmony vocalist, Brenda Kennedy, Bap's wife. Brenda is also a regular member of Bap's live band, as are two of the album's other musicians - drummer Rabb Bennett and virtuoso guitarist Gordy McAllister. After the Celtic melancholy of "The Sailor's Revenge", there is a more upbeat rootsy Americana feel to "Let's Start Again". The country-roots style of the record is something that Bap's co-producer, Mudd Wallace first realized would suit Bap as far back as the early 80's.
