I loved his first CD. I love this one even more. His playing is more intense and his style had evolved into someting more personal and recognizable. The backing musicans are the same as on his first as well-Zoe Conway, Eoin O'Neill, Colm Murphy, Finbar Naughton, Aogan Lynch, Gavin Ralston, Donnacha Moynihan. Fiercly tradtional yet representaive of today's younger Irish musicians. This CD should put Gavin on the map.
The first tune sounds like "The Wind that Shakes the Barley" to my ears...and the second tune is definitely the Paddy O'Brien composition called "Hanley's Tweed"
"Another Time" is another nice recording from Gavin!

He's a lovely fella, even with the piercings.
Lovely Gavin
