Jude Shiels is the son of Brush, who actually produced this album and added guitar and bass here and there. However, Shiels Junior is an inventive player in his own right – with an accomplished jazz-inflected Latin-American/bossa nova style that adds lustre to Without Silence. The drumming of Mack Hynes bring a sensitivity to the party that highlights Shiels’ expressive qualities as a guitarist and songwriter of style and taste.
