Harry Bradley, Jessie Smith & John Blake gave us an album we can all be proud of. This album has it all, great settings, great playing & it just sounds like they had a ball recording it. The Killarney Wonder is a tune I've heard a 1000 times but they give a a new life. They have a touching setting of The sailor on the rock & dug up a great seeting of Sligo Maid that sent me running to see if they gave Danny O'Donnell his due (they did). If you buy only one album this year you won't be bad off if it's this one, it's an instant classic.
I thought Mick O'Brien and Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh's "Kitty Lie Over" is the best recording of the year 2003, but this one competes with it. I accidentally found this album in the website of Claddagh Records: http://www.claddaghrecords.com/www/product.asp?pID=1596
Once you sample one or two tracks, you can't help buying it.
And now I see why glauber gives many compliments to Harry Bradley. I need to get his solo album as well.

Tap Room Trio, track 3: The Pullet
Anyone have a different name for the tune rendered by the Tap Room Trio and listed on the sleeve as "the Pullet"?
