Although Karen prefers her new album, The Hills of Erin, Knock on the Door remains my favourite. This album has a firey intensity to Karen's hammered dulcimer playing, a knock-em-down and drag-them-up style of whamdiddling that has you snapping your fingers and dancing on your feet. Fast scales and throbbing basenotes - all played on the same dulcimer, make this a treat to the ears. It's even better when heard - and seen - live. If you're in the Maryland area, check Karen out at the House of Musical Traditions in Tacoma!
