My friend gave me this CD on my birthday knowing how much I adore Celtic music. I love the selections of songs and instruments in this collection. The CD's cover art is lovely as well. I plan to buy more of Will Millar's CDs in the future.

This recording by Will Millar and Friends contains some of the most beautiful versions of traditional Irish music avaialble on disk today. the sounds are robust yet deeply touching and often haunting, much better in my view than many of the "diddly-dee" stuff that passes for celtic music on CD these days! Many of these pieces come from the North Antrim area where Will grew up as a lad in Ireland before immigrating to North America. The range of emotion in this CD is qquite astounding. Definitely one of the best recordings of its type avaailaable, it deserves a very wide audience. Chacra are to be congratulated in producing this and Will's other two CDs in the "Celtic Trilogy", "Lark in the Clear Aire" and most recently, "Celtic Seasons of Enchantment". Another triumph, Will!

Will Millar and his band are just fantastic, giving traditional Irish songs such a haunting yet soothing quality. Takes you to a different time and place. If you love Celtic music, this CD is for you.

Peaceful and captivating.
