One of my favorite albums. Remarkable for the wonderful cello. Highlights are the first track, Rights of Man/Pride of Petravore, Dolores's singing of Teddy O'Neill, The Miller of Droghan (that's were Lunasa got it, btw), and the Jewish Reels (track 6). The last set of Waltzes finishes with a funny version of An Irish Boy Was Leaving.
The Jewish Reels are on of the best track on any album ever! I know that's quite a statement but you've got to listen to them! If anyone has a copy of them, an I've posted this as a request before, please, please, please post it. If they can do it, so can me and my dad!
btw Frankie Gavin got that tune from a Swedish/ Irish (me) band I used to play with many years ago. I got the tune orginally from the excellent county Antrim fiddler Deirdre Shannon sometime in the mid-70s, who was the only person I had ever heard playing it. Not a lot of people know that.
The tunes in the Irish Waltz Medley are
a. The Stone Outside Dan Murphy's Door (J. Patterson)
b. Palm Trees Wave on High (trad.)
c. Boulavogue (trad.)
d. Pull Down the Blind (trad.)
e. A Mother's Love Is a Blessing (trad.)
There are a few errors with this listing, i.e. the album actually has 10 tracks with 2 songs missing from the listing. Also there is another reel after Mullin's Fancy, i.e. the Opera Reel
