Jump, Little Children: “Cathedrals” (1998)
In this Carolina band’s earlier incarnation it had more of an Irish sound, thanks to a trip they took to Ireland to gain first-hand knowledge of Irish music. Upon their return and subsequent time spent busking on street corners, their sound became more of an eclectic mix of Irish and American influences. “Cathedrals” isn’t typical of their generally lively sound. But it is their best-known song and most beautiful ballad.
