Odyssey is the debut collaborative album from three of Ireland's most respected traditional instrumentalists: Tara Breen on fiddle, Pádraig Rynne on concertina, and Jim Murray on guitar. Released in 2024 on Liosberg Records, it brings together ten tracks spanning reels, jigs, slides and original compositions, recorded across Malbay Studios, Liosberg Studios and CGM Studios for a warm, detailed acoustic sound.
The album arrives in a striking full-colour digipak featuring sci-fi-inspired artwork by Ken Coleman — a bold visual statement that perfectly reflects the trio's ambition to push Irish traditional music somewhere fresh while staying deeply rooted in the tradition. A complete booklet with track notes and credits is included.
This is an ideal addition to any Irish traditional or folk music collection, and a strong introduction for listeners discovering the work of Breen, Rynne or Murray for the first time. It sits naturally alongside the best contemporary trad session albums of recent years.
