Album Notes & Community Reviews

The second album from the pioneering acoustic quartet further revolutionized traditional Irish music by incorporating complex, almost eastern-sounding bouzouki and mandolin interplay. Featuring seminal interpretations of dark, ancient ballads alongside blistering instrumental sets, the record captures the unparalleled chemistry between Christy Moore, Andy Irvine, D贸nal Lunny, and Liam O'Flynn. The release solidified their position as the most innovative and influential force in the 1970s Celtic folk revival.
