Description
The Bothy Band were only together for three years but in that short time-span they were responsible for the rebirth of traditional Irish music and set the standard for all bands which would come after them. This compilation, originally released in 1983, four years after the band split up, is a superb introduction to their blend of tradition and innovation that still inspires Celtic musicians.
From ancient ballads, sung by siblings Micheal O'Dhomhnaill and Triona ni Dhomhnaill, to driving sets of dance tunes, played by uilleann piper Paddy Keenan, flautist Matt Molloy, fiddler Tommy Peoples (and later Kevin Burke) and the band's rhythmic center Donal Lunny, (bodhran, bouzouki, and guitar), the Bothies did it all.
