Joemy Wilson is wonderful and this is simply a wonderful album. I have had it since it came out and am going to buy it now as a gift -- everyone who hears it likes it, and that's not because it's bland! Give it a try -- you won't be sorry!

Even someone who's never heard of the legendary Turlough O'Carolan will be captivated by this collection of his music. Joemy Wilson's flowing ripple of notes gives the proper lilt to the music on hammered dulcimer. Guitar, flute, violin, and celtic harp contribute but don't overwhelm the pure sound.

O'Carolan's music is always a treat and this album is a favorite of mine. I highly recommend it to all celtic music fans and for that matter, anyone who loves music.

I have had some version (cassette, CD) or this recording for many years and it never fails to please me. The choice of material and musicianship is outstanding.

Another solid contribution to the surprisingly ill-attended history of recorded Turlough O'Carolan music. While I miss the slightly more dominant flute of the first volume, this one is completely in line with the fine, unostentatious arrangements of her earlier work. I'm looking forward to getting more of this series.
