This is fabulous, great drive and style, strong hints of Andy McGann from that New York connection. The star studded cast accompanying him adds a lot of variety as well.
To clear up a bit of confusion "The Kerry Reel" on track 14 is actually The Green Fields of Rosbeigh.
Any tune with a title like "The Kerry Reel" is bound to cause confusion... but it's a great tune so more people should learn it. Its also recorded by Andy McGann and Paddy Reynolds on "Fiddle Duets" if you want to compare the styles.
Good stuff
I just got this. It's really quite enjoyable.
