Released 1998, the Chieftains and Irish musicians while in Canada. Paddy Moloney on pipes and whistle, Matt Molloy on flute, Sean Keane and Martin Fay on fiddle, Derek Bell on harp and tiompan, Kevin Conneff on bodhran and vocals. Guest appearances: Leahy, The Rankins, Great Big Sea, Laura Smith, Natalie MacMaster, Mary Jane Lamond, Barra MacNeils, The Ennis Sisters, and La Bottine Souriante.
This CD was single-handedly responsible for getting me into Cape Breton, then eventually Irish music. My family was taking a vacation to Nova Scotia, and as we crossed the Causeway to Cape Breton, a little gift shop was blasting this CD, and Devil's Dream, an old family favorite of ours, was on. I immediately inquired about the CD, purchased it from the gift shop, never stopped listening to it the entire trip, and am now infatuated with Irish and Cape Breton music. This CD will always have a special place in my collection
I believe this to be the best Chieftains album ever made. I'm not a big fan of Cape Breton music, but the other Canadian artists are great. The track with La Bottine just rocks!
I'll have to pick this one up. I have tried to avoid quite a lot of the cheiftan's music in the past 5 years. Thanks to your reviews, I'll add another.
Connaughtman - I believe that you were born as an afficionado - Maybe there is a gene?
Does anyone know the names of the other tunes in this set? Other than the first (Cuilfhionn) and last tune(Reconcilliation) I am having trouble identifying the other tunes. It seems that everywhere the set is only referred to as Fingal's Cave with no mention of the other three tunes
I went through this a few years ago and I'm trying to remember the answers. It's trickier because I don't have a recording of it, so I'm working from memory of a friend playing the set. I think there's a Sean Ryan jig (either the Castle or the Nightingale) and a JS Skinner reel (The Spey in Spate).
