This is a joyous album with the extended McGarrigle clan making musice and having a great time. This may sound as if The McGarrigle Hour is a little self-indulgent but it truly isn't.
Kate and Anna are timeless and on this album they are joined by their chidren, their spouses (current and ex) and friends, well-known and otherwise. The choice of songs is eclectic but very satisfying. There is something for everyone and something to suit every mood. If you get the opportunity you should see the McGarrigles live but this is certainly the next best thing.

The cd is just average for such iconic country folk as Kate and Anna. They were having a great time doing this with family and Emmylou, maybe I just expected too much.

Well the truth is that this is a somewhat self/family indulgent affair, something which the McGarrigle/Wainwright clan, and the Richard/Linda Thompson Dynasty are getting a little too proficient at.That being said this is still an excellent album which starts off with a superb version of the sublime Loudon Wainwright's "Schooldays".From then on it's a hit and miss affair with some brilliant songs and some over the top ones. I share another reviewer's position of being not overly enamoured of Rufus Wainwright's singing style whilst believing that his father can do no wrong!!!So, something of a mixed bag but you've still got to have it!!!...

Better without Rufus!
I enjoyed the McGarrigle sisters, Loudun and Martha Wainwright's tracks, but I really didn't like Rufus's singing: sorry!
