This review is from: Independence Suite: Traditional Music from Ireland, Scotland & Cape Breton (Audio CD)

This carries me back to Cape Breton in memory to a small community center where singers, dancers, and fiddle players performed for their friends and neighbors. As a passing tourist, I was enchanted by the distinctive sound created. I've listened to a lot of celtic music and love it dearly. Cape Breton music always makes me want to dance.
This includes a sprightly collection of Scottish and Irish tunes as well.
