If you are an Irish Rovers fan then this is a "must have" CD. If you are a Bodhran player or learning to play one, this has some of the best Bodhran instrumental passages I have ever heard. They aren't solos but with the volume up a little the drum comes through very clearly. Most of the songs were either written by George Millar or were arranged by him. This CD really illustrates the individual and combined talents of this wonderful group. After 40 years they are better than ever! After your first listen to the songs on this CD, if you aren't singing them around the house or in your car then there is something wrong with you. Each song is done in signature Irish Rovers style with at least one passage done a cappella. One of my favorites is "Down By The Lagan Side" by Tommy Sands. I have almost worn this CD out I play it so much. I highly recommend this CD.

Once again, a great collection of Celtic songs from the band best known for "The Unicorn". Some fast, some ballads, no clunkers.

When I listened to this CD I was intrigued! Its so enchanting and fascinating and great for any Irish music lover!
