Review

This anthology, consisting of music that has previously appeared on various recordings on the Green Linnet label, is a fun, accessible collection of mostly traditional music. Composed of approximately equal parts of rollicking toe-tappers ("The Chorus Reel/Ashmolean House," "Clarke's Favorite/Pigeon on the Gate," "Con Cassidy's & Neil Gow's Highlands/Moll and Tiarna/McSweeney's Reels,") lilting melodies (the hilarious "The Humours of the King of Ballyhooley," "Take Her in Your Arms,") and gentle ballads ("Iain Ghlinn' Cuaich," "Keg of Brandy"). There are appearances by Capercaillie, the Tannahill Weavers, Liz Carroll, and John Whelan, and the Silly Wizards close the album with a medley that grows faster and funnier with every passing second. The appeal of the music on The Celts Rise Again more than hints at the reasons for the popularity of Celtic-style music. --Genevieve Williams
