Showcasing the songs of Helene Cronin, Old Ghosts and Lost Causes gathers the work of the seasoned songwriter under her own name. Her pen puts flesh and blood into the characters wandering Old Ghosts and Lost Causesas “Riding the Grey Line” turns its head around to watch the faces of the fellow passengers moving towards, and away from, their lives. Helene Cronin opens the album with soft guitar picking that lets her clear vocal question her motivations in “Careless with a Heart” as the legend of a man rolls across the screen of a song as “The Last Cowboy”, and “Mongrels and Mutts” suggests acceptance of the face in the mirror.
An electric guitar wiggle dances across “Mean Bone”, a tune Helene Cronin co-wrote with her novelist daughter, Alex, the story wondering if the descriptive term may be more real in the bodies of those around us. Old Ghosts and Lost Causes sets the cruise control on groove for a highway song in “El Camino Fly” while an edge courses through the rhythmic resume of “Devil I Know” as the album considers the diversity “In a Kiss” and watches an invisible presence walk among the living with “Ghost”. Helene Cronin beautifully paints love for one another with each soul she introduces on “Humankind”, using the theme of the track as a centerpoint for Old Ghosts and Lost Causes.
