  Oh My Sweet Carolina (Live on Colbert) *** Minus a little context, it isn't exactly clear why [RYAN ADAMS] chose to revisit this track from his brilliant alt-country solo debut Heartbreaker on Stephen Colbert's Late Show the other night. (If I recall correctly, I first witnessed him perform the song at the Ambassador in Dublin all of sixteen years ago.) But who's counting? Oh My Sweet Carolina is a classic. And having recently returned from visiting that beautiful, complicated place, I can attest that the sweetest winds do indeed blow across the South.

The tour will coincide with the release of her debut album 'Something Ilk', which is released tomorrow.

  \"I'm an 80s girl, and I love the Pet Shop Boys,\" said Cosby's wife, Gesa Cosby . \"And I love Lily Allen. I think it's a great line-up.\" She's not looking forward to September, though. \"We get into an after-Electric Picnic depression when it's all over.\" On Thursday night, it was the turn of Indiependence to announce its line-up for 2014 at a reception in Whelan's on Wexford Street. Public Enemy, Fun Lovin' Criminals, Delorentos and Damien Dempsey are among the acts heading for Deer Farm in Mitchelstown, Co Cork, for the first three days of August. \"It's great that people are getting out to festivals,\" said the festival's organise r Shane Dunne . \"But it's probably not because they have more money. They're just fed up sitting at home on a Friday night watching Tubs.\"

  With all proceeds from this album going to the non-profit Irish charity Dogs in Distress, it would take a cruel-hearted person indeed to knock spots off a collection of songs that extol the virtues of our canine friends.

The Dubliner release her first album 'Something Ilk'in 2004 but it was not until the release of her second album 'Tales of Silversleeve'three years later that she really began to make waves. The album garnered [Cathy Davey] a Meteor Award for Best Irish Female and a Choice Music Prize nomination and spawned the successful singles 'Reuben', 'Moving'and 'Sing For Your Supper'. '.

\"I'm in a good place,\" says [Cathy Davey], who is gearing up for the two remaining shows of her residency in Dublin's Whelan's venue. \"The problem with anyone who is judged on their work as an artist is that whenever they say they're in a really good place, it usually means they're going to write something that is quite boring. So I'm not the judge of where I am, but I know I'm at peace with knowing how to balance what is needed out of me to sustain myself as a musician. \"It was quite strange for me, because I haven't been that comfortable with playing gigs in Dublin - it's a bit of a fear of performing to a home crowd, I suppose. But I felt very relaxed and that could have been because it was part of the three-week residency - it felt like home to me. I didn't play new songs - it wasn't that kind of show for me - but I did play a few songs from my first album (2004's Something Ilk). I was always embarrassed by it - you're pretty much listening to your teenage self, and you're just mortified - but now I think it deserves a second shot. And so I played the likes of Holy Moly, Hammerheadand Clean and Neat.It felt good revisiting those songs, and I sang them in the way I should have sang them eight years ago.\" \"I'll be doing the Dublin Fringe show, Songs That Scare Children. The show doesn't necessarily feature songs inspired by direct nightmares, but it includes music from movies that would colour the memories of your childhood - like, for instance, music from the Charles Laughton film Night of the Hunter. Whenever I think of a certain room in my house I remember being in that room after I'd seen the film. And that gives the memory a colour and a feeling that to me is eeriness itself. Another movie that I've taken a song from is the 1964 movie The Naked Kiss- the song is Mommy Dear,which is very, very disturbing. I suppose 'Songs That Scared Catherine as a Child' might be a better title.\"

Night one (next Thursday) sees [Cathy Davey] and full band feature music from her three albums (2004's Something Ilk, 2007's Tales of Silversleeve and 2010's The Nameless).

MUSIC NEWS: Cathy Davey has announced a three-night residency in Whelan's during the month of February, returning to the stage for the first time...

THE TALENTED Irish singer/songwriter Cathy Davey will play a concert in Wexford Arts Centre on Thursday, October 10 at 8.30 p.m.

What's the best gig you've been to? Ben Folds at Vicar St recently. I got that old feeling when the gig was over that I needed to hear all the songs he'd played straight away. It's been a few months and it's still all I'm listening to.
