Reviews by Sean McGuinness
This CD contains all previously released material and is less than a half hour long. Don't get your hopes up, "The Wild Rover" is not on the CD, but "The Irish Rover", for the umpteenth time is. The one redeeming factor is that this contains the only CD release of "Brennan on the Moor" from the Spontaneous Performance album — a truly classic performance.
I rate this CD a B.
