Album Notes

The Rats and the Rosary is volume two of Michael Snow's "Skelly" trilogy, an exploration of music inspired by his Liverpool / Irish background.

As on volume one, the well-received "Here Comes The Skelly," Michael's melodic, lyrically powerful original compositions are embellished by a dream team of musicians and special guests, in addition to Snow's multi-instrumental skills.

Returning from volume one, Pat McInerney and Ron DeLa Vega (rhythm section of Nanci Griffith's Blue Moon Orchestra), fiddle master Craig Duncan and whistle Wizard John Mock, are joined by guests including: Fran Breen (Waterboys), Clive Gregson, legendary sessionman Larry Knechtel on a co-written piano feature, Bill Lloyd (Foster & Lloyd, etc.), Dennis Locorriere (of Dr. Hook fame), Strawbs lead guitarist Brian Willoughby, who also contributed three co-writes, and his duo partner, Cathryn Craig.
