Along with the excellent works of Alan Stivell, this album effectively introduced celtic music in Quebec. It was the first LP where whistle, concertina and other instruments not normally found in Quebec could be heard. It is my belief that Barde really started the crave for celtic and mostly so Irish music. The Trowie Burn medley is brilliant.
The third part of the set on cut 9 is labeled "Angus Rankin". It's a great reel and I was surprised to see that it wasn't listed in the abc. The Reverend's Tune Finder identified it as "Sandy MacIntyre's Trip To Boston". Barde plays it here with the A and B parts reversed.
