The product of 3 years writing, recording, experimenting
and perfecting his art, the brilliant follow up to 'Fused'
catches an even bolder Michael McGoldrick, producing a cutting
edge brand of folk music not heard before. The album also
features Dezi Donnelly, John McCusker, Flook's John Jo Kelly
and Ed Boyd, Capercaillie's Donald Shaw, Manus Lunny and
Ewen Vernel amongst others. Highly
Recommended. (Oct 2005) |
