This album is is for everyone
author: Michael Williams
Roger, Kathy, John, and Aaron put together one great set of original music. My favorite has to be Vertigo Rising, but everyone will love Roll On, a ghost story with haunting fiddle and vocals. I rib Roger that Track 3, "the fair" was not a favorite of mine when I first heard this, but it grew on me quickly. I would recomment this album to anyone who enjoys any type of Celtic music, the sea, fishing, wresting, or going to the fair!! If you get a chance to see this band live, you must do it, you will not be disappointed!!!
