Reviewed 2010-05-01
Celtic music (Irish & Scottish) from this Canadian band. Featuring both traditional and original compositions. More than a hint of bluegrass. Very stylish. With vocals, piano, guitar, tin whistle, flute, bodhran and harp. Plus step dance & fiddles.

*1. A slow instrumental air. Introduction can lead into #2. 1:24
*2. Lovely female vocals, slow contemporary folk. 4:53
*3. Upbeat toe-tapper w/male vocals and a lively bounce. 2:54
4. Set of 3 guitar instrumentals. Mostly midtempo, well played. 3:55
5. Slow and lyrical Gordon Lightfoot tune. Nostalgic & sweet. 4:30
*6. Solid midtempo Scottish folk w/tight vocal harmonies. 4:07
*7. Total yee-haw set of reels. Some great string work. 4:16
8. Slow and sad ballad w/male vox & guitar. Kinda maudlin. 3:07
9. Slow ballad w/some pretty cheesy lyrics. 2:50
*10.Upbeat folk dance w/a fun a capella sound. 2:45
11. Slow and sad love song w/a lush arrangement. 4:37
12. Midtempo traditional song w/some nice vocal harmonies. 3:34
