Dan Hegarty publishes book about overlooked and forgotten albums
Buried Treasure is a new music book about forgotten, overlooked and uncelebrated albums from all genres of music.
Half of the book was written by RTE radio DJ Dan Hegarty with contributions from the likes of Annie Mac, James Vincent McMorrow, Dave Fanning, Scroobius Pip, Glen Hansard, Aidan Gillen, Cathal Pendred, John Kelly, Cillian Murphy, Aisling Bea and Larry Gogan among many others.
The book is a great resource for picking out albums to listen to on Spotify and receiving context as you listen.
Each pick is accompanied by a bit by someone involved in the album. I picked Death In Vegas’ The Contino Sessions and it was a nice surprise to see Richard Fearless expound about the album on the same pages.
The book is released by Liberties Press and is out now. Buy it direct from the publishers.
