Overview: This is a unique audiobook combining the author’s reading with a score created by fiddler Martin Hayes, one of Ireland’s greatest traditional musicians. This is a book about exile with music acting as one of the migrant’s psychic anchors to what he left behind in Ireland. Music is a theme and a recurrent presence in the book and is now brought to vivid life by Martin Hayes in this audiobook.
“I was transfixed when I first saw Martin Hayes play a white electric violin in a bar in Chicago more than thirty years ago and have remained so since. Our conversations and his playing move through what I’ve written about music in I Could Read the Sky. He is one of, if not the best live performers I’ve seen. His sense of music is exquisitely delicate, intense, acute, profound, sublime. He brings you directly to the great range of human emotions that is in Irish music. He is both timeless and innovative. He is always after the pure thing. It was a great pleasure to sit beside him in Madrid as he put notes to the words of this book.” (Timothy O’Grady)
