About this recording...
This is a collection of traditional music from the island of Newfoundland, on Canada's east-coast. Graham Wells is one of the finest accordion players to ever have been born on this island and this album marks his solo debut and was very tastefully produced by musician Bill Sutton, who also contributes a good deal to the instrumental tapestry of the album.
In addition to Graham and Billy, the album also feature some of the island's best traditional players, including Duane Andrews (guitar), Paddy Mackey (bodhran), Jason Whelan (bouzouki), Colin Carrigan (fiddle) and Aubrey Gosse (bones).
This album provides a wonderful taste of Newfoundland traditional music, as well as a glimpse into the influences of settlers from England, Ireland and Scotland.
