This cd set is well worth your money! The Chieftains have always been my favorite Irish group and the music is so...IRISH. It has toe tapping,haunting and serene music all at one time. You couldn't buy a more perfect gift for your listening pleasure.It really makes you want to back to the Irish Pubs and listen to the sessions they have. Don't pass this one up.

This set is for lovers of Irish music or others who just enjoy good music. It is the Chieftains at their best! The music is pure, toe-tapping, lively and tender. All things Irish.
