if you know me, I have a crazy thing for Irish singers. And one of them is Danny Ellis. To make a long story short, he's this guy in his fifties who grew up in this crazy orphanage ran by insane monks and he learned to sing and play the trumpet or something. Anyway, his album, 800 Voices, is amazing. The songs pretty much tell the stoy of his childhood. I'm not an emotional person, but a couple of them are pretty sad and harsh. Most of the songs are pretty cool, but my favorite would have to be Bold Christians Brothers or Tommy Boner. Buy those two songs if you have any money left on iTunes. And go online to read the stories of the songs. They can be pretty funny, as any all boys' orphanage stories are, but pretty sad as well. But that's all I'm going to say. If you want to know more, listen to it yourself.
