It was with joy I saw that the 1982 album I have been playing on a nearly expired cassette is now available on CD.
I know very little about Irish music; but this album demonstrated to me that it is the music, not the instruments or amplification that make what you hear exciting.
There is an urgency in the music that reminds me of the best jazz along with a Bach-like precision.
Listening to the acoustic instruments' unaccustomed sound can take me to a windswept Irish coast, even as I sit in a London traffic jam.

Take two stunning musicians at the height of their powers, let them play a heap of the best tunes ever and this is what you get. Hell-for-leather playing, utterly precise, gives the cleanest example I know of how exciting Irish traditional music can be. It also my favourity version of Paddy Keenan playing the Bucks of Oranmore, which is heart stopping.
Pure music - great for learning tunes from, or convincing doubters how good the music can be.

A classic recording
7 May 2003
Format:Audio CD
For lovers of Irish folk music this album is a must. Paddy Glackin, a master fiddler, and Paddy Keenan, arguably among the greatest uilleann pipers, display their brilliance on this album. This is folk recording, unpolished but pure. For pipers and fiddlers, this recording is a source of study; for Irish music fans, it's a testament to the power of the Irish folk music tradition. Thank goodness it has finally been issued on CD; I've worn out my tape.

Rough, Ready, and Awesome
22 Nov 2000
Format:Audio CD
This album is a must for Irish music fans. The two Paddies are in fine form here. Paddy Keenan's piping is expressive and technically brilliant and Paddy Glackin's fiddling is precise with beautiful tone. Uillean pipe fans will appreciate Paddy Keenan's use of the regulators on such tracks as "The Bunch of Keys" and "The Bucks of Oranmore." The two Paddies can play either sedately and with swing or full-on with all pistons firing. This album is a classic.
