This line up of Solas was one of the finest groupings of Irish traditional musicians to play in one band. If you ever heard the Bothy Band, Planxty, Boys of the Lough, etc. you'll love this album. What is really wonderful about Irish music is its ability to change with the times. There are indeed many lovers of strictly traditional music, purists who want to hear the pure drop as it were, but there are many fine musicians who find that too restrictive. Solas falls into the latter category. Their re-workings of traditional tunes are incredibly energetic, rhythmically daring and masterful. Karan Casey's vocals are as lovely as you could want. John Doyle is one the finest rhythm guitarists you'll ever hear. Seamus Egan plays every instrument well and Paul Williams is as good a box player as you could ask for. If you've not heard this album I'd urge you to give it a try.Read full review
