This is a 1996 album, but I wanted to make sure it made the list of recordings. I second Jon's comments on the standards Joe derrane
sets for any musician (see Give Us Another,the Boston Edge, Ireland's Harvest). Some players may find his ornementations a tad too "baroquy", but I must say that after listening to him for years, he is a constant source of inspiration. A master indeed...
Listen to the explosive first notes of "Humours of Lissadell" and you'll be won over. As for "Pastiche for Galway", if you think you're a pretty good box player, well... think again. And I forgot to mention the great piano accompaniment by Carl Hession. Tremendous !
Also highly recommended: "The Tie that Binds", with Frankie Gavin, Seamus Egan, Jerry O'Sullivan, Carl Hession and Zan Mc Leod.
