Album Notes & Community Reviews
Operating at the absolute pinnacle of the Scottish folk revival, the virtuosic ensemble delivered a deeply passionate and impeccably arranged collection of traditional ballads and jigs. The intricate interplay between Phil Cunningham's accordion and the driving acoustic rhythms perfectly underscores Andy M. Stewart's highly emotive vocal delivery. It is universally regarded as a masterful, definitive text of modern Celtic folk music.
