5.0 out of 5 stars Great Celtic music, January 31, 2006

This review is from: Never Despair (Audio CD)

This is a wonderful album of Celtic music with an Eastern European influence. This band is based in Cincinnati, Ohio, and I had several opportunities to see them live before buying the CD. The jigs, reels and polkas are all very good, with "Swedish Medley" and "East European Medley" being particular favorites of mine. "As I Roved Out" has some of the saddest lyrics I have ever heard. I'd recommend this album to anyone who enjoys Celtic music and is looking for something solid and traditional, but a little bit different.
