Romain Gutsy’s hearty and cheerful down tempo folk ballad ‘The Girl From Kerry’ sounds like the kind of tune you’d hear an immensely talented artist sing in an underground bar to just a tiny audience. The storytelling really grips you, perhaps taken to another level due to Romain Gutsy’s distinctive gritty yet innately happy vocals. While the story itself has a tragic element to it, there’s not a hint of sadness in the tone or delivery of the tune. A beautiful medley of folk and blues, ‘The Girl from Kerry’ is the kind of tune you want to play on a lazy Sunday morning and just take in the story while enjoying the beautiful uniqueness and narrative of Romain Gutsy’s voice.
