Lankum – Live In Dublin Album Review

In this episode of Logan Sounds Off, I am reviewing “Live In Dublin” by Lankum; an incredible live album that is stunning in both musicianship and emotion.

I review the live album "Live In Dublin" by Traditional Irish band Lankum on Logan Sounds Off. — Lankum – Live In Dublin

This is a fantastic release that I thoroughly enjoyed listening to, for many different reasons. One that I do think deserves attention is the fact that, as a Lankum fan, I got to discover different insights into these songs, and the live sound that accompanies them, and how this rawness can make the emotion more real, especially when it is recorded with such zeal, such as on this record, with references to stepping behind the curtain, as well as panto chants from both the crowd and the band. That is what makes it a magical experience.

Along with that, this is even more apparent if it’s noticed that in less that a brief time before the release of this album, we explored through another Lankum album – False Lankum. This was a double album that explored many different types of musicianship, tones, genres as well as overall emotions. This being recognised in the studio as well as live allows the listener to thoroughly enjoy the songs even more by hearing some of the vocals in a more open setting instead of a studio. In now way am I diminishing studio albums, I am merely expressing how having live releases between studio albums can compliment the live shows as well as the original album.
