| The ingredients of Kyle Carey’s music include the songs of the American Folk Anthology, the Appalachian poetry of Louise McNeill, and weekends spent working at Caffe Lena (in Saratoga Springs, NY) and listening to the best musicians in contemporary folk. The results are well described by Kerry Dexter of ‘Music Road’: “It is Kyle Carey’s poetic take on story, landscape, emotion, and language which center things, and her engaging storyteller’s way of singing that opens the door to her stories. Gospel twined with Celtic notes, banjo leading into Scottish Gaelic, miner’s stories, traveler’s tales of loss, change, and recognition, ‘Monongah’ is a varied journey, one worth taking.”In the winter of 2011 Kyle traveled to Western Ireland to record her debut album, ‘Monongah’. Produced by Donogh Hennessy (Lùnasa), ‘Monongah’ features Pauline Scanlon (Lumiere) and Aoife Clancy (Cherish the Ladies) on harmony vocals, Cape Breton fiddler Rosie MacKenzie (The Cottars), Brendan O’ Sullivan (Gràda), old-time fiddler Cleek Schrey, Appalachian expert John Kirk (Quickstep) on mandolin and banjo, and Trevor Hutchinson (The Waterboys, Lùnasa) on double bass.In the summer of 2011 ‘Monongah’ shot to #8 on the July Folk DJ Charts, making Kyle the #10 artist for the summer of 2011. She followed the success of her album with a North Eastern tour alongside Cape Breton fiddler Rosie MacKenzie. Pre-album release tracks off ‘Monongah’ were selected for airplay on Celtic Roots radio out of Belfast, and The Songwriter’s Networks radio station, and the album in its entirety named ‘Album of the Week’ mid-May by Celtic Music Radio out of Glasgow.
