Acoustic world folk collaboration from Irish stars Donal Lunny and Andy Irvine, US bluegrass-er Bruce Molsky, Dutch guitarist Rense van der Zalm, and Hungarian musician Nikola Parov. Some vocals, some instrumentals, all damned good. Watch for applause at beginning/end of tracks.
1. Catchy mid/uptempo song with vox/strings/whistle. Nice.
*2. Sweet and bouncy Greek folk dance. Nicely energetic.
*3. Great fiddle work on this set of 2 dances. Gets into a fast jam.
*4. Fast & fun blend of gypsy jazz and bluegrass. Great fiddle/guitar.
5. Elegant, midtempo blend of strings/whistle/vox on 2 Macedonian folk tunes.
6. Midtempo fiddle duet into lively American folk tirade.
7. Great strings backing tragic Irish folk tune then lively string/whistle jam.
*8. A capella holler - bouncy mid-tempo bluegrass interlude - fast string ending.
9. Slow & sad w/delicate vocals. Then more lively w/a Baltic sound.
*10. Fast from the start & keeps the energy going.
11. A Klezmer sound. Downtempo w/rather sad.
