Almost Everything. is a two-part album. The first, features 15 of Ireland’s best-loved artists reading Kavanagh’s poetry against the backdrop of a truly stunning musical composition. The second, is a remaster of the 1964 album from Claddagh Records, the only recording of Patrick Kavanagh reading his own poetry. The sleeve notes include fellow poet John Montague’s description of Kavanagh as “a writer who already has his place among the Irish immortals, both as a personality and a poet.”
