Mick Flannery & Susan O’Neill: “Baby Talk” (2021)
Irish singer and songwriter Mick Flannery’s successful collaboration with Susan O’Neill (herself an up-and-coming Irish songwriter) on this song grew into a full album of duets between the two.
Flannery’s rootsy sound and sorrowful songwriting find a sympathetic match in O’Neill’s vocals, which approximate a wounded Stevie Nicks vibe here.
No less than three of Flannery’s albums have reached number one in his native Ireland, where he’s one of that country’s most acclaimed songwriters.
