The best!

If you want to hear the Chieftains play traditional music with subtlety and imagination as opposed to guest stars and gimmickry, this is the album. One of the best recordings ever of trad music. I am still listening to it regularly 30 years after I first heard it. Michael Tubridy's solo track with Mercier's bodhran accompaniment is one of the best recordings of traditional Irish flute playing and is probably what subconsciously put me on the path to the flute even though when I began the whistle, I always thought I would be a piper.

Maybe "unpack" track 6 ("The Foxhunt") into the separate pieces so they can be matched up with the individual tunes in the database:

1. Fiach an Mhadra Rua
2. The Foxhunter's Jig
3. The Foxhunter's Mazurka
4. The Foxhunter's Reel
