Decca
Reviewed 2008-04-15
Rich, melodic Celtic music from a first rate band. Flute, accordion, guitars, bouzouski, bodhran, whistles, mandolins plus a few guest musicians. All instrumentals and mostly originals. A fresh touch on traditional-style music. Warm, playful, expertly played.

*1. Two folk dances, first midtempo then upbeat. Lively & catchy.
*2. Sweet, mid/uptempo contemporary folk w/a totally fun melody.
3. Medley of jigs. Upbeat w/lots of tight interplay.
4. Relaxed, almost reflective. Picks up a bit. Warm & delicate.
*5. Fast set of dances w/wicked good performances. Yow!
6. Midtempo at first, gets into a speedy reel. Wonderfully done.
*7. Warm midtempo head-nodder then a fast jam. So good.
8. Starts quiet, slow, then an upbeat bluegrass-infused groove.
9. Slow & sweet with an old-fashioned sense of nostalgia & romance.
