Album Notes

Another musical tour-de-force by the two-time winners of the Orange County Music Awards “Best Folk” distinction, this collection takes the best elements of Celtic trad and fuses them with Americana-style bluegrass to create a sound that will please all acoustic palates. A satisfying combination of original and traditional tunes, this CD continues Sligo Rags’ tradition of combining award-winning instrumental virtuosity with lush vocal harmonies and a smattering of tongue in cheek humor. Award winning songwriter David Burns (The Whiskey Never Lies) contributes four new original tunes to this collection; and fiddler Michael Kelly's "We're Irish Tonight" has quickly become a popular favorite. The original tunes sit comfortably side-by-side with the traditional ones in this latest offering from these Southern California favorites.
