Carroll is a world-class Celtic fiddler/composer. Doyle a great Celtic guitarist. Although both have played with groups (she with Trian, he with Solas), they’ve mostly been solo for the past few years. Here they join forces for their first duet CD, a fun and lively collection of largely original songs, all played with spirit and skill. Whether it’s a playful reel with a touch of bluegrass or a heartfelt air that’s pure Irish mist, they do it all with style.

*1. Nicely toe-tapping set of instrumental reels.
2. Two jigs with a catchy, melodic air.
*3. Driving set of dances w/a slight bluegrass air. Fun!
4. A gentle air in honor of Ireland. Slow, sweet, pretty.
5. Bright and happy midtempo set w/a fun sense of interplay.
*6. Two dances uptempo and bouncy.
*7. Starts slow & pretty, gets lively. A great progression.
8. A sweetly old-fashioned dance turns into a bit livelier tune. Nice.
*9. An upbeat set w/solid playing from both & nice energy.
10. Two mostly midtempo tunes. Skillfully done.
*11. An upbeat Celtic bluegrass jam.
12. Slow, elegant, almost classical. An evocative air.
13. Set of two upbeat tunes, catchy & sweet.
