Album Notes & Community Reviews
Presenting the unadorned, ancient sean-n贸s ('old-style') singing of Connemara, this album captures Joe Heaney performing completely unaccompanied in both Gaelic and English. His rich, highly ornamental vocal delivery carries centuries of rural Irish folklore, history, and heartbreak without a trace of modern artifice. It is a profoundly important, deeply sacred ethnomusicological document of Celtic tradition.
