Wonderful Irish music from one of the best Celtic bands on the planet. They’ve been together for 30 years and are still on the top of their game. A delicious mix of instrumentals and tracks with the gorgeously ethereal Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh on vocals. Not a bad track in the bunch. Most vocals in Gaelic - #7 and #9 in English.
*1. Fresh and warm set of slip jigs. A warm toe-tapping set.
2. Slow and lovely song w/a sad sense of nostalgia.
*3. Light and lively set of reels. So well played.
4. Slow and delicate air w/a sweetly plaintive sound.
*5. Light midtempo song w/a lovely blend of strings & vocals.
*6. Strong and solid set of reels w/a wonderfully light touch.
7. A slow and gentle traditional folk air. So sad.
*8. Lively and driving set of jigs. Like a late night fiddle jam.
9. Slow and sad American ballad w/a Cape Breton air.
10. A light and relaxed reel – deceptively simple but catchy.
*11. Slow, delicate ballad. Soaring goddess vocals.
12. Fresh and straight-up slip jig. So well played.
13. Slow and serious w/a more modern ballad feel.
