This is a traditional music group with a saxophone! The combination harks back to the Irish dance bands of the 1920s. The name At the Racket was apparently borrowed from a 78-rpm recording by the Flanagan Brothers.
This is a lovely album. Sure, it can put off the pure drop listener- but doesn't the tradition include the dance bands of the thirties? Certainly Josie McDermott and Noel Sweeney would appreciate this stuff. I find it graceful and lovely and full of sweetness. I highly recommend this CD.
It's great fun!!
