*************
Here's a review of Castlerea by Tom Nelligan from
Dirty Linen:
"Maryland guitarist Jim Tozier has released
"Castelrea" [self-produced JTCD0301 (2003)], a collection of mostly solo
fingerstyle instrumentals, some traditional (like a sensitive, graceful
rendition of Turlough O'Carolan's "Planxty Irwin") and many original in
Celtic-inspired styles (such as the title cut, a quick, dancing reel full of
bright little ornaments). Tozier is a DADGAD specialist, which lends a richly
resonating sound to tracks, like his moody instrumental version of the English
song "The Blacksmith", which leads into a deep, sad original melody."
