This CD is an exceptional piece of work. The artist goes further than most would dare when addressing the issues at hand. I very much look forward to hearing more from this artist in the future.
A powerful CD that gets you thinking and feeling
author: A. McKigneyThis CD conveys a strong human rights message in an eloquence rarely achieved in this genre. It makes you think and feel and motivates you on issues bigger than yourself. This CD knows no boundaries – no matter if you’re from Ireland, America, or any other place – if you’re human, you’ll get it. The other tracks on this CD bring wonderful new sounds to traditional Irish music in a way that honors it without mutilating it.
