This album was actually released about 10 years ago, but I only discovered it fairly recently. With the exception of the occasional harmonica-ist at sessions, I had never really heard much of it in Irish music, so I thought I would check this CD out. All in all, pretty cool. Power admittedly has a diverse background in music and likes to experiment, so many of the tunes on this CD have been played with to give a bit of a different feel to them. He is joined by Chris Newman (guitar, bass, mandolin), Peter Houlahan (bodhran, shaker), Maire Ni Chathasaigh (piano), and Des Hurley (fiddle). Really just a fun CD, unlike anything I've heard really.
