‘Lay Your Hand’ is cocooned in sweet strings which build to a heavenly coda that allows the simple beauty of her lyric to linger in the consciousness. Conor O’Brien contributes understated guitar throughout, as well as concise drum patterns. I’m not sure who plays the banjo, but it’s never less than perfect. (If ‘banjo’ and ‘perfect’ can be used in the same sentence…) The single ‘Little Red’ is a fine example of Davey’s ability to make the album’s diverse ingredients work to her benefit. The Nameless is the album that undisputedly confirms Davey as world-class. (EC)
Press reaction to the single
“…Little Red is a veritable Motown folktale….Single of the Fortnight…”
Celina Murphy…Hotpress.
“…the good news is that it may very well be the best thing she’s done to date…”
Eoin Butler….The Ticket..The Irish Times

The Nameless
Here we have the first sighting of the front cover for the forthcoming ( May 7th ) album, The Nameless which will appear on Cathy’s own Hammer Toe Records. The cover for the album is a unique 3-piece suit which is full of Cathy’s words and drawings and though slightly complicated it is well enough behaved to allow it into any room of the house.

Cathy has designed a cover to keep the little mite warm and you can see it here:
