5.0 out of 5 stars raw and powerful - two masters at their best, March 19, 2002

This review is from: Forgotton Days (Audio CD)

Davy and Kevin are two of the finest players of Irish music today, and their abilities are well displayed on this album. The selection of tunes is excellent, with many well-known tunes and a few lesser known gems. The instruments play unaccompanied, making for more intimate recording, and a more traditional sound than anything Davy's recorded in the past. The playing is tight and crisp, and not too fast. Davy makes good use of the drones and regulators, especially on the slow air that finishes the album. If you're looking for raw, traditional sound, this album is one of the best.
