CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Traditional Irish musicians commonly are fond of medleys of jigs and reels, but few have been so relentless in combining compatible melodies and rhythms as County Clare fiddler Martin Hayes and American guitarist Dennis Cahill. The centerpiece of this album, recorded at Seattle's Tractor Tavern, is a 27-minute semi-improvised suite incorporating fragments of 11 distinct tunes. American folk music fans with attention spans more attuned to Woody Guthrie than Philip Glass might prefer the more concise five-minute pairing of "Carraroe" and "Out on the Ocean," or the jazzy six-minute coupling of "Dowd's No. 9" and "Come West Along the Road." As the old advertising jingle goes, "It's not how long you make it, it's how you make it long." --Rick Mitchell Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsMoving playing of the highest order. Alan L. Case | Geneseo, NY USA | 06/22/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "It takes quite a CD to get me to go to the effort of writing a review. However, having noticed that most of the well-deserved positive reviews received by this excellent CD come from fans of Hayes and Cahill, I decided to provide an outsider opinion. I am primarily a classical musician (a pianist) and I certainly wouldn't consider myself expert in Celtic fiddling. In fact, I'm not sure quite why I bought this CD in the first place. Sure am glad I did. This is music making at the very highest level. The 27+ minute medley of 11 tunes should be required listening for anyone who has ever tried to play, for example, a Bach Partita. This is truly playing which moves the listener, both physically and emotionally. Very highly recommended!" One Of The Best Live Albums Ever Thomas Shea | Seattle, WA United States | 02/09/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Perhaps I am bias since I was at this concert at Seattle's Tractor Tavern but I must say that this CD aptly captures the magic that was in the room that night. In fact, this recording captures the passion and energy of their live performances better than any of Hayes' excellent studio albums. Check out the hair-raising nearly-30 minute suite. Elements of jazz & classical music can be detected in the complex, undefinable interpretations of traditional Irish music. Any music lover should give this a chance. Simply breathtaking!" The most phenomenal music I've ever heard Charles L. Church | Missouri, USA | 01/26/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "This most feeling, intense, skillfull, and beautiful piece of music I've ever heard.... I've never heard anything like it, and I listen to nearly all types of music. I wept when I listened to it for the first time in our living room! It is all instrumental, and is greatly inspiring. I'm back for my second copy tonight...."
