5.0 out of 5 stars A non-threatening intro to Celtic music, March 4, 1999

The Black Family is an extraordinary find and if you've made it this far there's no reason not to buy the CD, you won't be disappointed. These are heartfelt songs, intricately woven and framed by some amazing voices. Bramble and the Rose is still among the best love songs ever written.

This was originally my album (I'm the mom) 'cause I'm the one into Irish music, but it has become a family tradition in not only the singing but also the listening. My kids (14-6) love the jaunty 'Donkey Riding' and 'Wheel the Perambulator'. My daughter sang 'Warlike Lads of Russia' for a school talent day. We even learned to make colcannon because we love the song so much, and that has now become a family tradition too! A great way to experience music everyone can appreciate together!
