Customer Reviews

McGlynn's Fancy at a bargain price
This CD is mis-titled: it is Celtic but not strictly airs, and mis-labeled with the artist as McGynn on Amazon. This is I believe the same collection that went by the name McGlynn's Fancy and that you can get for $30. Arty McGlynn is an obviously facile guitarist and more importantly a wonderful musician. Each time I listen to this CD I find new things to like. The first things that hit me were that he plays one O'Carolan tune straight and one almost impressionistically, and that he takes some liberties with the trad tune Blackbird that seem Gypsy to my ear. My wife, a harp and keyboard player is similarly delighted with the CD, so your odds are 2/2. Just kidding -- music is individual. This is a good bet though if you like Celtic virtuosity and/or interesting approaches to Celtic tunes.
