Few albums have moved my heart and my feet as much as this. If you like Celtic music you will love it. If you like folk/rock you will love it. The musianship is superb, the production is top notch and the music is moving to say the least. There is little more I can say - the music itself says it much more eloquently.

I play the snare in a traditional Scottish pipe band, and as such I was a little skeptical at the odd combination of light rock and Celtic music, thinking that they were too different. Frankly, I was wrong. After listening to the CD twice, I couldn't stop those tunes and songs from dancing about in my head. This is a great album, and I recommend it to all.

WOW, do I love this record. It's so soulful, fresh, thoughtful, musical, MOVING, rocking, human, honest--have I said enough? This music haunts me in the best way. (and gotta love that bagpipes/electric guitar sound) My favorite tracks: Glenglass, Tall Ships, Heart & Soul. (I love the lyric: It's in a bride's eternal answer/.../heart & soul)

As a 60's hippie who has found his Scottish roots and has a LARGE colection of Scottish folk music (love The Corries)and also saw nearly all the greats from the really innovative era of music---late 60's early 70's---I really love what these guys have done with their music.

I have to admit that this album was only the 2nd of theirs I bought, but I bought it at Stirling Castle gift shop while touring on motorcycle.

I lost the album the same day in a wreck, when the Harley hit a snake and skidded off the road going over and embankment and bouncing on some rocks before sitting down on it's tail in Loch Leven. The CD player was crunched and my disc lost, but I later bought a used one to replace it.

Anyway. I loved the upbeat energy and innovative instrumental conglomerates which probably were a distraction on the ride. Fortunately my guardian angle arranged a narrow shoulder on which I did a triple sommersault and ended up only "DAZED AND CONFUSED" (see Led Zepplin's 1st album) with all my stuff soaked.

Still the music lingered in my memory and I spent a long time trying to find this album (which was unavailable for quite a while) finally buying a used one of great quality thru Amazon.

I am currently lobbying local entertainment centers to book these guys on tour if they can get them to come to Montana.

I bought this CD on a whim, having never heard of Wolfstone or any of their music. I have been playing it constantly ever since, and now want to buy all their other CDs. I'm hooked!
