It is very nice. A good mix of box, fiddle, eand both. Brian Conway's lovely playing is clearly a tribute to McGann's but a bit lighter in touch. Joe Burke is excellent as always, and Dolan as well.
You just have to listen to the Tribute to Michael Coleman after listening to the Andy Tribute to appreciate that the lads have captured the intergrety,spirit and soul of the Coleman one, on which, of course, Andy played, |t stands shoulder to shoulder with it, and IMHO will emerge as one of the big recordings of 2007, which is on course to being a bumper harvest already.
Every sinew of every track is awsome, eg Crowleys...I'd have this as the last sound I heard on my way to the great session in the sky.

I picked up a copy in Miltown, before the Catskills' release. Listened to it non-stop in the car there on several road trips. Great stuff!
