5.0 out of 5 stars Still the best, August 23, 2004
This review is from: Banish Misfortune (Audio CD)
This album inspired me to learn 3 instruments: the tin whistle, the guitar, and the hammered dulcimer. I have never heard a dulcimer recording its equal. It will make you want to learn an instrument just so you can share the songs with other people. I would get this record if at all possible

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic, September 15, 2003
By 
This review is from: Banish Misfortune (Audio CD)
This album is a true classic. This is a must-have album for lovers of celtic, instrumental, and hammer dulcimer music. With me, as for many early fans, this was the album that introduced me to celtic music.

Often labeled as "new age" because "Banish Misfortune" is instrumental, it is a forerunner of that genre. This music is not synthesized or electronic, but instead consists of virtuoso performances of traditional Irish tunes. While this album is melodic, it is not especially mellow. Most of these are dance tunes, and as such are played at dizzying, tempos that inspire one to motion more than to meditation. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars an inspiration, October 31, 2010
This review is from: Banish Misfortune (Audio CD)
I bought this album in vinyl way back when (when people still bought vinyl). I don't know why, but it has been an inspiration to my music since. I still listen to it often in my car on a cassette I made from it back around, oh, 1980 or so, and can't get enough. I also saw Dalglish and Larsen in concert near Providence RI in the mid-1980s, and it was great. I wonder what they're up to today?
