5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding CD, October 9, 2003

Mick McAuley's An Ocean's Breadth is a fine CD, one that I've had on the player since its arrival a few day back. The opener reels, Road to Maclatchey / The Grian Ri Reel, will get your foot tapping as will the other tunes. One favorite tune is Mellie's Delight with Mick on the low whistle. The four songs Mick sings are also superb with The House Carpenter being my favorite at the moment. As I listen to the CD I just move from one favorite to another. This is an outstanding CD by a outstanding player, singer and composer. Don't read about this CD, listen instead. You'll not be sorry.

I have been listening to Irish music for 30 years and I find this record such a relief. It is not about style, showmanship or technique...it simply uses these tools to make brilliant heartfelt music. This is no mean task.
