In the Deep Heart's Core: Cast a Cold Eye 2

In the Deep Heart's Core, Volume Two: Cast a Cold Eye, illuminates the work of the mature mystic whose tragic intensity, spiritual breadth and mastery of language tower over 20th century poetry. Includes 'Running to Paradise,' 'Wild Swans at Coole,' 'The Cat and the Moon,' 'The Wild Old Wicked Man,' and five songs in the voice of Yeats's feminine alter ego, Crazy Jane. The album features sixteen songs and three spoken pieces in all. This is a recording of the second half of Sobol's sweeping theatrical song cycle, which received a Joseph Jefferson Citation for Outstanding Original Score in it's Chicago stage debut. Performers include Sobol on cittern, guitar, and vocals, ravishing Irish-American vocalist Kathy Cowan, baritone Tom Orf, fiddler Laura Risk, bassists Robbie Link and John Floeter, and pianist Aaron Krister Johnson.
