Nobody Knows: The Best of Paul Brady (2002)

EW's GRADE
B+

Details Release Date: Jan 08, 2002; Lead Performance: Paul Brady

Brady was already a respected figure in the Irish trad-folk scene when he reinvented himself as a contemporary troubadour in the early '80s. This sampler neglects his more rocking material in favor of slicker stuff, yet offers an engaging intro to Brady's worthy catalog, showcasing the vivid insights and understated Celtic soul of such tunes as ''Paradise Is Here'' and ''Crazy Dreams.''
