Hot Press Review of Tickety-Boo
COLM LYNCH
TICKETY-BOO [TWO BULLETS RECORDS]
****
SOUTH DUBLIN SINGER-
SONGWRITER CUTS
CONVINCING ROOTS
ROCK DASH
This South Dublin singer-songwriter has been tirelessly pounding the boards both at home and abroad, over the last few years. While he’s undoubtedly a powerhouse live performer, capable of summoning up the kind of fiery passion reminiscent of Springsteen, Van Morrison or The Waterboys, Lynch is no mean songwriter either, as this follow-up to his debut, A Whisper In A Riot confirms.
He treats the studio pretty much like he approaches his gigs: that is, he holds almost nothing back and ,with his switch-blade voice and crack band, manages to turn almost every number into an exhilarating tour-de-force. The epic opener, ‘It’s Coming Down’ is the kind of bar-band rock that the likes of The Hold Steady and The Gaslight Anthem have been excelling at recently. And ‘Winners’ combines smouldering, soulfoul atmospherics with yearning lyrics and a nod towards Springsteen’s ‘Jungleland’ (“And the poets, no, they can’t believe their luck”). He changes tack slightly, travelling down a country road, on the foot-stomping ‘If I Was In Your Shoes’, which is not a million miles away from Steve Earle’s cow-punk classic ‘Copperhead Road’, while Dylanesque acoustic folk informs the more gently paced numbers such as ‘Hold Your Fire’ and ‘Kiss My Blues Away’. The spirit of Neil Young (‘Words’) is all over ‘Suits You’ while ‘Quicksand’, a recent single, starts out with just piano and voice but builds into a riotous show-stopping rocker.
Catch him live if you can. This will certainly whet your appetite.

REVIEWS
...........a captivating live performer with fantastic songs. Machine-gun percussuve playing accompanies unusual lyrical content and a vivid stage presence.
www.irelandlogue.com/guide/music/artists
Exceptional debut album.
Eddie Rowley, Sunday World.
Superb debut……..it is the lead man's vocals that will ultimately win you over.
Gareth Maher, Totally Dublin.
Colm Lynch is possibly the best Irish newcomer to emerge from 2006. A Whisper In A Riot is one of the albums from last year that just shouldn't be missed.
In Dublin.
Cinematic, stylish, different……..very different and very good.
Dave Fanning 2FM
The lyrics are more Dylan than Rice, the energy more Paul Weller than Paddy Casey.
Bianca Lukyx, TV Now.
Lyrically and musically, Lynch is a super sized cut above the rest with songs that stick in your memory.
Orla O' Brien, In Dublin.
Lynch's much-anticipated debut album, A Whisper in a Riot oozes with a confidence, passion and steely determination unusual in a first offering……. might be the most exciting thing you've heard in years.
Colm O' Hare, Hotpress
I don’t know why he’s not in everyone’s record collection. I think he’s fantastic.
Michelle Harding, Acoustic Highway, RTE Radio1
I heard Colm play in Dalkey and I thought he was super so I asked him to come in today to sing a few songs…….his version of Hallelujah is really beautiful.
Karen Coleman, The Wide Angle, Newstalk, Christmas Eve 2006
Best Male 2007
Balcony TV Awards, Sugar Club
…comes on like a one man hoedown.
Trinity News
….his expressive vocals and narrative style carry occasional echoes of the Blood on the Tracks-era Dylan…… it is his literate and incisive lyrics that really distinguish him from dozens of other Irish artists.
Eistmusic
This album is a great addition to any collection…6 out of 6
