Twenty-five-year-old Irishman Flynn�s offbeat debut rings true. His muted nylon-string finger-picking and occasional blasts of trumpet get fleshed out with help from his ring, the Sussex Wit. Cellos weep, accordions wheeze, mandolins shimmer and banjos prance, leaving Flynn to say tales with his middle-English literary genius and earthy vocalizing. Rollicking anthems give way to somber songs that set off to drag. But when his short sister Lillie chimes in with harmony vocals that add a sweet feminine touch, �A Larum� works magic.
