Song Review: Aoife O'Donovan - “Magic Hour” (Live at KDHX St. Louis, 8/4/16)

Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, Aoife O'Donovan released a live version of “Magic Hour,” recorded live at KDHX Studios in St. Louis.

An appropriate number for the holiday, “Magic Hour” was inspired by O'Donovan’s childhood trips to Ireland and the recent death of her grandfather; recorded in August, the song originally appeared on 2016’s In the Magic Hour.

Laced with lyrical allusions to her father’s homeland, “Magic Hour” finds the 34-year-old O'Donovan waxing nostalgic as she’s backed by guitarist Anthony da Costa and drummer Steve Nistor.

In that hour if you listen hard/you might hear my grandaddy singing far away like an evening star/songs of an old Ireland/songs ‘bout being young again/I wish I was young again

The release comes as O'Donovan kicks off her solo-acoustic tour March 17 in Cambridge, Mass., where her live album Man in a Neon Coat was taped in 2016. In July, she’ll hook up with her I’m With Her bandmates Sara Watkins and Sarah Jarosz for a joint tour with the Punch Brothers, whose leader Chris Thile played with Watkins in Nickel Creek.

Tour dates at Aoifeodonovan.com.
