Customer Reviews

pure genius
If you love traditional Irish music you must listen to this! In my opinion Tommy Peoples is a musical genius, and this features him at his best. It is easier to hear and appreciate the Donnegal elements of his fiddling on this album than in his tunes with the Bothy Band. Matt Molloy also shines as always, as does Paul Brady. There is not a bad number on this album, and I give it my highest recommendation.

A classic!
This is truly a classic recording of authentic, top-quality Irish music by two of Ireland's greatest traditional musicians. While Matt Molloy is universally regarded as a master flute-player, Tommy Peoples holds a position of reverence among Irish fiddle-players that is reserved for probably just one person in every generation. Together they are a musical powerhouse! They have distinctive guitar accompaniment on the album and one's view of that style will be a matter of personal taste. In any case, you will not tire of this album! (I would like to see Tommy Peoples' other recordings available on Amazon also).

Maybe the greatest album of traditional Irish dance music
I consider this album an absolute must for any Irish music collection. Matt Molloy is a consumate flute player who plays not only with speed and fire but with incredible acurracy. Tommy Peoples has never sounded so exciting as on this classic album. His playing literally explodes and captures you from the first note. Paul Brady's accompaniament helped set the standard for modern backing of tunes. Together they created a sound that paved the way for such bands as Altan and Solas. Their version of Toss the Feathers is emulated in sessions the world over. If you want to learn to play Irish music or just appreciate its firey beauty you MUST BUY THIS ALBUM!!!
