If you like Celtic Folk this will knock your socks off

We are long time Big Blow fans, but the Celtic traditional stuff isn't our favorite. As a result, we enjoyed this CD, (Big Blow NEVER fails to entertain and offer a fresh perspective to everything they perform), but perhaps not as much as some of their earlier recordings. There's also one really disturbing song on there with women being burned at the stake and men getting their hands and feet cut off. I know its a traditional song, but I had to cut it out when I put this album on my ipod. It created WAY too disturbing mental images for me!

Ahhh... the calm, soothing, haunting melodies of Celtic musi- WHOA!
This stuff is like smelling salts for your ears.
Enya with a pulse? Forget the Enya and just imagine the PULSE.
Put away those tip-toe tapping Scottish dancing shoes and strap on some heavy, muddy, floor-stomping boots, or just stomp barefoot in the mud.
This stuff is earthy, worldly, tribal, evoking of primal urges with the droning of Tim Whittemore's Didjuridoo playing, centered amongst traditional Celtic instrumentation as well other musical influences from cultures far, far away.
I've got this CD and you are missing out not being able to hear the tracks `Please the Ploughboy', `Sawney Bean', `Finnegan's Wake', or `Jug of Punch.'
Still think it's not your cup of tea? Think of it as a double shot espresso.
