This is one that has been on my "must have" list basically since I started playing a handful of years ago, and after conceding recently the only way I was going to find it was online (met Carty himself and even he didn't have any copies readily available), I recently bought it online.
Definitely is what people have cracked it up to be. Really just great a CD and a shame that it's not more readily available with his other recordings. Go through the usual sources to get this one, but get it if you don't have it.
Yeah, this is a great recording. But isn't it a shame Brian McGrath concentrates on piano backing? He is also a lovely banjo player and there should be more banjo and fiddle duet tracks.
John Carty (banjo, fiddle) with Brian McGrath (banjo, piano).
