Great stuff.

Wonderful music.

This is a classic CD that has been largely overlooked. It can hold its own against such other great albums as Noel Hill and Tony Linnane and Matt Molloy with Sean Keane and MM with Tommy Peoples.
The CD has great tunes, some common and some not so common -- the opening track offers two little heard but great tunes. There isn't a clinker track on the CD. Driving music played sensitively and with great passion by seasoned young musicians. This CD is a must have.

Track 10 is “Paddy Fahy’s” (the one heard at the end of Planxty’s “The Woman I Loved So Well” album) and “A Long Way From Home.”
