This is a fantastic album! I am Scottish and my husband is Irish, and this album is a winner for both of us. We own many of Phil Coulter's albums, and we were not disappointed with this one. The selection of Scottish tunes on Disc 1 is great. If you are a Glaswegian, you will enjoy "I Belong to Glasgow." A great tune, and not often played on albums. If you are Scottish, your heart will be touched by his rendition of very Scottish tunes. If you are Irish, Disc 2 will have your missing the auld sod. Though this is a "tranquil" album, you will not miss the flavor of "Whiskey in the Jar." This is a wonderful album, very relaxing, very enjoyable. Phil Coulter knows what it is to be a Celt, and he translates this with his wonderful music. The overall character of this album is delightful, relaxing and pleasant. The title is definitely true; it is "total tranquility." He plays all of the tunes you want to hear, and he makes you wish you were there. He is truly a master!

I have just received my copy of Total Tranquility and have been playing all afternoon. I have only one complaint -- the song list order on the packaging is in the wrong order and, not being familiar with most of the songs, I am unable to correctly mark them.

As far as the content is concerned, 'Total Tranquility' is the word. Phil Coulter is a master at lulling the listener almost into a peaceful trance, only to lift one up to majestic musical heights, and then return the listener to a soft calm place of Total Tranquility. I am thoroughly enjoying these 2 CDs.

"Tranquility" by Phil Coulter~ This is a fantastic 2 CD set. One Irish the other Scottish music, love them both. But I think the Irish is my favorite, anyway I find myself playing that one over and over again. Not that the Scottish music doesn't get its time in the player! This is instrumental music that is good for any occasion. With soft ballads, and toe tapping upbeat tunes. You absolutely can't go wrong with this one!!

The music of Phil Coulter has always been very peaceful and calming. Such a pleasure to find some of his most beautiful on one CD

We first heard Phil Coulter when we visited Ireland in 1985. We were sitting in a small restaurant, eating a wonderful dinner. Phil's music was playing in the background. So happy to be able to purchase his newest music CD's.

.Phil Coulter's music is inspiring! It puts you in a better place when ever you are listening to it! This is the Maestro at his Best!

An amazing cd, Phil Coulter is one of our favorites. Sit back, relax and let this music wash away your cares and tension. We play it loud enough that the music floats through the entire house - ahh, nice.

This sis a very relaxing cd. It has many traditional Irish and Scottish songs which will be familiar to you done as only Phil Coulter can do.

This is the first time I've purchased a Phil Coulter album and I'm happy with the quality of his music. It truly reflects the Celtic spirit. The only think I wish is for the traditional instruments to be more prominent in some of the pieces.
