Album Notes

"Eclectic" is a word much over-used in folk music, but how else to describe an album that includes centuries-old Gaelic as well as selections by Stan Rogers, Dido and Kate Bush? Nearly every song on this album deals with a journey, whether from across the sea or back from the grave, each song is about choice and living with the consequences. Though it has been nearly eight years since the Browne Sisters and George Cavanaugh recorded their last studio album, the astonishing variety of songs collected here, the inventive arrangements, the strength and clarity of the vocals guarantee that their journey has not been wasted - and that their choices are sure to please.

The sister group, along with cousin George and longtime friend John Allan are favorites at many music festivals across the United States and have played together for over 15 years. They have opened for the likes of Andy M. Stewart and shared the stage with Dougie MacLean, Alex Beaton, and Alasdair Fraser to name just a few. They are known for their creative and unusual harmonies and arrangements and can make folk lovers out of those who didn't know they could love folk music!

As always-FABULOUS!!!
author: Elizabeth Mohr
WOW! How do you pick a favorite when they just keep coming up gold? Love the fact that all have a solo song. First fell in love with them in 1991 at the 115th Sac. Valley Games.

An outstanding achievement by some wonderful people.
author: Carol Staswick
I played this obsessively for the first week. I've enjoyed the group for years, but they reach a higher level of musical sophistication on this album. Every song is a gem; everyone is singing better than ever; the songs suit the voices; the instrumentals are intelligent and effective. The first song entices you in; the last one sends you away inspired. It's hard to imagine that anyone could not like this music.
