I am a self professed newbie to celtic music. however, i feel that I know a good thing when I hear it. The playing just seems joyful as it is skillfull. It makes me want to dance even though I aint Irish and there's some good singing on here as well. There is just something about this album that makes you feel right at home. I am sure this guy must be a legend in his own country and among afficianados of the style. Moreover, I refuse to give something five stars in a genre of which I know scant amounts.
