Some might think that after so many years and albums, this seminal Donegal band is becoming too slick and/or too generic. Well, I own two other Altan discs, and this one beats both. There's a greater emphasis on vocals here, but I don't mind that because the singing is delicate, gentle and irresistable. Plus, the melodic quality of the songs is absolutely first-rate And the instrumentals still pull me along every time. There are a number of guests along for the ride(including Bonnie Raitt), but thankfully, they only add to the traditional essence of the band.
